\"Lewis<\/p>\n

Emmerdale star Lewis Cope and his dance partner Katya Jones led the pack last week with 34 points, after their Johnny Cash Quickstep impressed the judges.<\/p>\n

This week, Lewis dedicates his dance to his family in Hartlepool, saying he wants to “do them proud”.<\/p>\n

Their freestyle performance to Couple’s Choice to Creep by Radiohead is full of humour in the white mask tradition with a touch of ghoulishness.<\/p>\n

It includes tap dancing on a piano lid and an exploding overhead sign as they gamely carry on. It’s full of fun and energy.<\/p>\n

There is an enthusiastic reaction from the audience and “it’s a killer” comment from Craig as he claps in appreciation.<\/p>\n

“Out of this world,” says Motsi.<\/p>\n

Shirley says Lewis’s family deserve a thank you for the gift that is Lewis and says “well done you.”<\/p>\n

“There is nothing you could have done to make that dance better,” says Anton. It was “a-ma-zing.”<\/p>\n

Let’s touch base with the judges:<\/p>\n

Craig: 10<\/p>\n

Motsi: 10<\/p>\n

Shirley: 10<\/p>\n

Anton: 10<\/p>\n

Total: 40<\/p>\n

A reminder: So far this season, there have only been two 10’s handed out by the judges – Alex Kingston got one on week four, and Lewis Cope nabbed one during movie week. No couple has received a perfect score of 10 from all four
