Caroline Quentin and Johannes Radebe
Dance: Couples' Choice
Song: 'Everything's Coming Up Roses' by Ethel Merman from Gypsy

Shirley Ballas: "Every week I only expect a little bit of improvement and you did that for me. I think you came back this week a little bit better than last week - that's all you can ask for." 7/10

Jason Bell and Luba Mushtuk
Dance: Paso Doble
Song: 'Star Wars Theme' by John Williams from Star Wars
Shirley Ballas: "I enjoyed the knee walks and I thought the slide in the middle was extremely committed, but I failed to find the character of the paso doble in this. I found it was a little missing for me but I do applaud you for trying hard." 4/10
Motsi Mabuse: "I can see the motivation and attack and energy you put into everything - I have to applaud it." 5/10
Craig Revel Horwood: "You don't know the power of the dark side darling. I felt you were dancing by numbers - I know that seems harsh. You're picking your feet up way too much and the smiling really killed it. I do love you darling but I did have to be honest there I'm afraid." 3/10
TOTAL SCORE: 12/30

Dance: Cha Cha
Song: 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' by Elton John and Kiki Dee from Gnomeo and Juliet

Shirley Ballas: "I absolutely loved the concept - you are super cool. There was not enough content but I loved with what you did." 7/10

Dance: Tango
Song: 'Lady Marmalade' by Pink, Mya, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera from Moulin Rouge

Shirley Ballas: "I feel like I'm copying, I wrote the same note myself - it was a disco-tango feeling but for me, I didn't quite like it. But good try, well done." 6/10
Motsi Mabuse: "I do see an improvement, let's be happy about that. You have energy, you have power, you just need to work on controlling it and directing it." 7/10

Motsi Mabuse: "This is what I'm talking about. I think because you've got the costume, you were more outgoing. Homer in the house." 8/10
Craig Revel Horwood: "Risky, difficult, it was sort of a street charleston. I think people are either going to love it or hate it... and I loved it." 8/10
