And someone else commented: “Wow that’s a big shock. I wouldn’t have called that at all.” Meanwhile, week two saw former Love Island contestants Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec impress with their Viennese waltz to Dorothy Moore’s Misty Blue, putting them top of the charts.

‌

In a historic moment for the show, the duo scored 35 points out of 40, setting a record for the highest score ever for a Viennese Waltz during week two of Strictly history.

Freed From Desire’s spectacular and fiery Paso Doble saw “Miranda” star Sarah Hadland and partner Vito Coppola earn 32 points, putting them in second place on the leaderboard.

‌

Toyah Willcox and Neil Jones found themselves at the opposite end after their spirited Jive to Tina Turner’s Nutbush City Limits, managing to secure just 18 points. Nonetheless, Anton Du Beke remarked that Toyah had shown improvement, a sentiment echoed by Shirley Ballas, who noted that she was “1,000 times better” than in her previous performance.

Although Craig Revel Horwood pointed out some of Toyah’s “flat” moves, he also admitted his adoration for her unbridled energy. Unfortunately, the bottom of the rankings was none other than Paul Merson.

‌

Teaming up with Karen Hauer, the former footballer’s energetic Salsa to Pitbull’s Fire earned them just 15 points. Craig drew laughter by comparing it to a “comical dance at a wedding”, and Shirley was left almost speechless, calling the routine nothing less than “pure entertainment”.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One this evening from 7.15pm.
