“You wiggled your hips, anyone can do that. You were marching it and stomping.

“However, I thought it was a lot better than I had expected, I can see you have been working extremely hard and I will give you an extra point for that.”

Shirley Ballas disagreed with Revel Horwood, saying: “You were classic and cool as a very tall cucumber.”

They were given a total score of 31.

This was the second-lowest score of the night, only beating Tilly Ramsay, who took on the samba to Levitating by Dua Lipa with partner Nikita Kuzmin. They were awarded 30 points.

Strictly continues on BBC One on Sunday at 7.20pm.
