Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and his partner Lauren Oakley danced their final
Last week, Emmerdale star Lewis Cope and his dance partner Katya Jones led the pack with 34 points, after their Johnny Cash Quickstep impressed the judges.
La Voix brought the laughs – belting out Cher’s Believe before diving into a Salsa to Strong Enough. The judges noted there was room for improvement, but La Voix’s charisma on the dancefloor was lauded.
Other highlights included a mood-boosting dance by Ellie Goldstein and her partner Vito Coppola, who packed a punch with a dynamic Salsa to a Spice Girls medley. Goldstein even got a heart-warming video message from her favourite Spice Girl, Baby.
Despite some impressively garish trousers, YouTuber George Clarke hit a bum note with his Jive to Harry Styles’ As It Was. Craig Revel Horwood, acerbic as ever, called it “flat footed”, and Clarke and his partner Alexis Warr crashed out with the lowest score this evening – at 27.
But in the end, it was Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and his partner Lauren Oakley who left the competition following a dance off against Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin.
