Strictly spoilers
Layton and Nikita opened this week’s show with an American Smooth to Björk’s It’s Oh So Quiet. Their dance was a blend of elegance and dramatic flair, but the panel felt it wasn’t his best, scoring 34 points.
Next, Nigel and Katya took the floor with a Rumba to Celine Dion’s It’s All Coming Back To Me Now, scoring 33 points, before Annabel and Johannes then electrified the audience with their Paso Doble to the traditional España Cañi, scoring their firs ten of the series for a total of 36 points.
Angela and Carlos lightened the mood with a vibrant Cha Cha to Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive. Their routine was lively and spirited but it left them bottom of tonight’s Strictly scores with 31 points.
Bobby and Dianne chose a Couple’s Choice routine to Maxwell’s This Woman’s Work. Their performance was a deeply moving and beautifully choreographed piece, scoring two tens for a total of 37 points as Bobby bounced back from last week’s appearance in the dance-off.
The night concluded with Ellie and Vito’s Argentine Tango to Destiny’s Child’s Bills, Bills Bills. Their dance was a captivating fusion of traditional tango steps with a modern twist and got them a total of 38 points to pip Bobby to the top spot.
As ever, the scores from the judges will be combined with viewer votes to determine who will be in the bottom two in Sunday’s dance off.
