Strictly Come Dancing was back in the studio this week, with the scores from Blackpool rolled over, elimination looming, and the first ever Instant Dance challenge!
We weren’t sure about the challenge when it was revealed last week. It sounded a bit confusing or muddled.
But let’s be honest, it was a triumph!
Chaotic and hilarious, but a triumph all the same. In fact it might have been our favourite Strictly episode ever.
Here’s everything that happened in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, before, during and after the Instant Dance challenge (even though that’s really all we want to talk about!).

There were TWO perfect scores!
We are getting to the stage in the competition where the remaining dancers are really good. And that definitely showed in last night’s show.
First of all, former Emmerdale star Lewis Cope and his partner Katya Jones danced a Rumba. They didn’t get perfect 10s, but they did get four 9s which is definitely not too shabby. Plus Craig Revel Horwood said he “loved” it, so that’s high praise!
Then footballer Karen Carney and her partner Carlos Gu took to the floor for their Couple’s Choice. It was a high-energy, unapologetic dance to Born This Way by Lady Gaga. And it definitely impressed the judges!
“Girl,” said Motsi Mabuse. “This was everything!”
Karen and Carlos scooped 40 for their dance which left poor Carlos sobbing with happiness!
West End star Amber Davies and her partner Nikita Kuzmin closed the show with an energetic jive that the judges also loved. They also won four 10s and Craig pronounced the dance “fabulous”!
