October 02, 2022 - 16:52 BST Georgia Brown Strictly Come Dancing headed into its second glittering week on Saturday, with the pressure on for the celebrities and their professional dance partners as they fight for their place in next week's show. This week saw Nikita Kuzmin in tears after his Waltz with Paralympian Ellie Simmonds, a disappointing score for football manager Tony Adams and a dazzling set of performances from the remaining celebrity-professional duos.
DISCOVER: Who is Strictly's Carlos Gu? Everything you need to know about the multiple world semi-finalist Ola: He's already proved he's more than capable of keeping up with a routine, so I think he needed to be challenged more. I feel like he's more advanced than the choreography, and he wasn't pushed enough to add in those all-important Salsa steps.
Ola: I agree. The Tango is one of the easiest ballroom dances to learn, and I felt like James' routine last night was quite disappointing. Ola: How lovely was Fleur East's performance? It showed another side to her last night, and the song was truly stunning which helped build the atmosphere. James: It was easily the most emotional performance of the evening. It was totally beautiful, Nikita did an amazing job with the routine. I do think her footwork could have been improved, however. Technically speaking, Ellie didn't quite nail the heelwork required for a Waltz, which Craig actually picked up on, but these things come with work!
James: Week Two for me is always one of the weakest weeks, you see that drop in quality. Having said that, if you take someone like Tony - he did so well. Would I have marked him high? No. But there's no way he's going home tonight. It was too entertaining.
