Strictly Come Dancing fans were left in awe tonight as professional dancer Carlos Gu delivered a flawless performance, earning a perfect score from the judges for his stunning routine. The dancer, who has quickly become a fan favourite, wowed both the audience and the panel with his passion, precision, and choreography. Teaming up with celebrity partner Karen Carney, Carlos put on an unforgettable routine go Lady Gaga’s Born This Way.
The pair performed a sensational Paso Doble, which even won over notoriously hard-to-please judge Craig Revel Horwood, who remarked: “That dance just got you into the Champions League, darling.”
Fellow judge Motsi Mabuse agreed: “This was just next level.”
With just six couples remaining in the competition, and an instant dance challenge set to cause chaos on the dancefloor in a major new twist, emotions are running high.
Karen admitted the main reason for her dancing is her parents, as she revealed: “My mum is my inspiration, and my dad, of course, and my grandparents just gave the fire in me.”
After hearing the judges’ incredible comments, Carlos, wiping back tears, said: “The reason why I got emotional is because this woman, she comes into the training room every single day, and we’ve all seen her since week one, we all know, she has posture, everything.”
She comes in and gives everything. This week, I have never seen her so happy to dance this dance. Every single day, I got emotional, I couldn’t tell her, I would just burst into tears because she loves dancing.”
He added: “She loves dancing more than me!”
Their performance earned them their first 40 of the series, with fans all left declaring them winners.
“Karen is going to win, pass it on,” one wrote, while another said: “Okay then. I have NO choice but to back Karen to win!!! They ate that.”
