Comments Off on Jamie Laing wows Strictly Come Dancing judges with street dance taking him to the top of the leaderboard
The Made In Chelsea star and his partner Karen Hauer notched up 29 points for their street dance.
Judges told the pair they “nailed” the performance – which took place in Elstree instead of Blackpool this year because of the pandemic – and were “amazing”.
DJ Clara Amfo is bottom of the Strictly leaderboard, receiving just 18 points from the judges for her samba with Aljaz Skorjanec.
BBC One show also saw Ranvir Singh and Giovanni Pernice make Ballas “hot under the collar” with an Argentine tango.
Good Morning Britain star Singh said to be asked to close a show which paid tribute to Blackpool “is a mind-blowing honour” for a “Lancashire lass, born and bred” and the couple notched up 27 points.
Maisie Smith and Gorka Marquez performed a salsa after being in the dance-off last weekend.
“I thought that was absolutely brilliant,” Anton Du Beke, who is standing in for Motsi Mabuse on the judging panel, said.

Earlier thisweek, Nicola Adams and Katya Jones confirmed they will return to Strictly Come Dancing for one final dance.
The pair, who were forced to leave the BBC One show after Jones tested positive for Covid-19, will return to the ballroom in the coming weeks for a non-competitive routine.
Olympic boxer Adams, 38, revealed the news during an appearance on BBC Two spin-off It Takes Two, when she said: “Well as my saying goes I do like doing the most. Me and Katya will be coming back.”
They both began self-isolating separately and were ruled out of the competition.
