Strictly Come Dancing viewers were all saying the same thing after an emotional end to tonight’s episode. Saturday saw the quarter final as the five remaining couples took to the dancefloor for Musicals Week.
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman were once again on hand to preside over the performances. Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas, Craig Revell Horwood and Anton Du Beke cast their eye over the routine. This week’s big winner was Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin who scored a perfect 40 for their Charleston to a song from Guys and Dolls.
Below them was a three way tie as George Clarke and Alexis Warr; Balvinder Sopal and Julian Callion; and Lewis Cope and Katya Jones all received a score of 35. In bottom place was Karen Carney and Carlos Gu as their Samba scored 34.
