Strictly Come Dancing reached its quarter final on Friday night (December 2) - and things were a little different because of a certain major sporting tournament. The BBC ballroom contest aired a day earlier than usual because of the World Cup, meaning viewers had less time to wait before enjoying the special musicals week.
First to take to the dancefloor was Molly Rainford and partner Carlos Gu who performed a Charleston to Hot Honey Rag from Chicago. After an upbeat performance from the singer, 22, she received a standing ovation from judges Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse.
Ballas said: “What a way to open the show, I wasn’t expecting that… you looked like you were having a ball.” Anton Du Beke said: “If you’re going to pick a moment to up your game, you’ve picked it, well done, marvellous.”
