“Musicals Week” saw the six couples perform a variety of routines to famous tunes from stage musicals, while the professional dancers opened the show with a number from Little Shop of Horrors.
The performances saw Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell dance a Quickstep to You’re The Top” from Anything Goes, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley dance a Viennese Waltz to “Let’s Go Fly A Kite” from Mary Poppins.
Meanwhile, Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe performed a Rumba to “I’m Here” from The Color Purple and Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał danced a Waltz to “Somewhere” from West Side Story.
Elsewhere, actor Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola danced a Charleston to “Popular” from Wicked and Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec performed an Argentine Tango to “Ex-Wives” from SIX.
Things kicked off with Sarah and Vito who scored 38 for their Charleston, which included two tens from the judges. Montell and Johannes then scored 32 for their Rumba.
The impressive Tasha and Aljaž were up next and also scored 38, including two more tens, for their Argentine Tango. Arguably the most popular performance of the night, with viewers, was Chris McCausland’s Quickstep, which only scored 32 from the judges.
The show was rounded off by Pete and Jowita’s Waltz, which earned the lowest score of the night, with just 26, including a 5 from Craig Revel Horwood.
The best was saved until last as JB Gill and Lauren Oakley and Lauren Oakley, whose Viennese Waltz to “Let’s Go Fly A Kite” from Mary Poppins blew the judges away, scoring a whopping 39.
