Week two of Strictly Come Dancing noticed the celeb contestants develop into extra relaxed on the ballroom ground as they delivered one other set of spectacular performances on Saturday night time (28 September).
On the prime of the leaderboard this week are former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and her professional associate Aljaž Škorjanec, who obtained the primary 9 of the sequence. Ghouri, who has earlier dance expertise, moved her dad within the viewers to tears together with her delicate Viennese Waltz to “Misty Blue” by Dorothy Moore. Their rating, 35, was the best ever for a Viennese Waltz in week two of the competitors in Strictly historical past.
Miranda star Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, who surprised the viewers with their intense and heated Paso Doble to “Freed From Want” by Gala, got here second on the leaderboard, following behind by three factors with 32.
Shayne Ward and his associate Nancy Xu pleasantly stunned the judges as they crept up the leaderboard from final week with their sensual Tango to “The Door” by Teddy Swims. They had been awarded a powerful rating of 31, up 10 factors from final week’s rating of 21.
Final week, it was JB Gill and his associate Amy Dowden in prime place with 31 factors, whereas Ghouri and Sarah Hadland adopted behind with 30 factors. Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe had been in third place with 26 factors.
