Overview

• Movie Week ended with Lewis Cope and Katya Jones scoring 37 for a Paso Doble, including the series’ first 10 from Motsi Mabuse.
• Viewers questioned an early top mark and alleged prior dance experience, while Cope said he is not a professional and last trained in his teens.
• Stefan Dennis missed the live show due to illness and, under the programme’s rules, he and Dianne Buswell received a bye to next week.
• Judge Anton Du Beke was caught on air saying, “Is that too much? I can’t help myself,” before being alerted they were live.
• This week’s pre‑recorded results leaked online ahead of Sunday’s broadcast, drawing complaints as the season’s online‑only voting and shared dance‑off tie‑break focus attention on outcomes.
