Craig Revel Horwood, who has awarded the pair two points for their last two performances, was hysterically laughing as he admitted the dance was “on time” .
Head judge Len Goodman called it Balls’s “best dance yet”.

At the top of the leaderboard was Laura Whitmore who missed last week’s show with an ankle injury.
