Vicky and Kai delivered a whirlwind of emotion in their passionate Tango<\/p>\n

This week’s Strictly Come Dancing proved to be a hit for Vicky Pattison, who bagged the best score of the night for her Tango and – as the judges say – her best dance so far.<\/p>\n

With a score of 39 she narrowly missed out on a perfect score but overtook Amber Davies’ fiery Samba which earned 38 points.<\/p>\n

EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal got a standing ovation for her Couple’s Choice dance, the Bhangra. YouTuber George Clarke was praised by Shirley for having “some of the best footwork” she’d seen in a Waltz.<\/p>\n

Last week’s perfect-scorer Lewis Cope performed an energetic Cha Cha Cha and came in joint third place alongside Lioness Karen Carney on 35 points.<\/p>\n

At the other end of the leaderboard, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Alex Kingston both impressed the judges to earn 30 points – but were reminded that the devil is in the details.<\/p>\n

Coming in bottom of the leaderboard this week is La Voix. However, Motsi paid her perhaps the nicest compliment of the night: “You bring sunshine to the ballroom.”<\/p>\n

We’re now ending our live coverage, but the results will be announced tomorrow night at 19.15 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n

Thanks for joining us and, as always, keeeeeep dancing!<\/p>\n
