🌟 We’ve got a special guest judge: musical theatre leading lady Cynthia Erivo.
The British actress became a phenomenon over the pond when she won a Tony Award for The Color Purple, and she’s since played legendary women like Harriet Tubman and Aretha Franklin
❄️ Rose Ayling-Ellis is playing it cool again...
She scored a perfect 40 for her Frozen-riffing ice queen tango. Now, she switches from Elsa to Anna for a quickstep to Love Is an Open Door
🕺Tom Fletcher is too controlled
Fletcher delivered his routine to On My Own ably enough but without the operatic emotion to match the music
A 7 and three 8s was a disappointing score

👞Rhys Stephenson is too footloose
He was perhaps led astray by the rebellious Kevin Bacon persona: he leapt ahead of the beat and got out of sync with his partner
A set of 8s will likely leave him in the danger zone

✨AJ Odudu is back on top
With a romantic waltz set to Edelweiss from The Sound of Music, Shirley Ballas said she and partner Kai Widdrington looked like they should be in a Christmas snow globe
Two 9s and two 10s means she's back with a bang

Dan Walker is definitely a morning person
The BBC Breakfast presenter lived out his dream of playing the Gene Kelly role in classic musical Singin’ in the Rain
Two 7s, an 8 from Du Beke and a 9 from Ballas - a mixed bag

🏫 School’s out for Tilly Ramsay
Her performance was the most committed of the night, as she threw herself into the character of Matilda
A perfect score of 40 💯

Can John Whaite find another level?
His Viennese waltz to Chim Chim Cher-ee from Mary Poppins was well executed but lacked impact
Rather muted comments from the judges resulted in four 8s

👑 Rose Ayling-Ellis supplied a right royal quickstep
Her Love Is an Open Door routine from Frozen featured lovely unique touches like the use of BSL in the storytelling
Three 9s and a 10
