Kelvin Fletcher - or rather his hips - continued to wow the judges on Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The former Emmerdale star was labelled “filth” after taking to the dance floor to perform a rumba with his dance partner Oti Mabuse.
Craig Revel Horwood told the 35-year-old soap star: “You’re obviously in touch with yourself! It was full of machismo. It oozed masculinity. It was filth!”Fellow judge Motsi Mabuse was equally impressed following the dance with her sister.
“I’m just like, ‘Hold on Kelvin. That’s my sister. Stop it’,” she said.
Head judge Shirley Ballas described Fletcher as “a very masculine man”, adding: “You just sent my temperature through the roof! I’ve never seen a man rumba like that.”
Bruno Tonioli called the actor’s hips “weapons of devastating effect” and it was reflected in his score of 36 points."It was filth!" - Craig. 🤣The hips are back and ready to Rumba! @kelvin_fletcher@OtiMabuse#Strictlypic.twitter.com/Ub5wAWuEsO—

After the former
England footballer and dance partner Nadiya Bychkova performed a quickstep, Bruno quipped: “Did you change your diet? Extra vitamins? That was a miraculous transformation… I’m gobsmacked.”"You've arrived!" @jamosfoundation and @NadiyaBychkova Quicktep to The Greatest Showman, on the greatest show 😉 (well, we are biased). #Strictlypic.twitter.com/D5g2XrsIq0— BBC Strictly ✨ (@bbcstrictly) October 12, 2019Elsewhere, Michelle Visage accidentally bumped heads with her dance partner Giovanni Pernice during their salsa.
She told co-host Claudia Winkleman afterwards: “It was on the last spin. I banged heads with him. It was my fault obviously.”Now Salsa that walk! @MichelleVisage and @pernicegiovann1 are hotter than a heatwave in Havana #Strictlypic.twitter.com/Jn2nhRp5uH— BBC Strictly ✨ (@bbcstrictly) October 12, 2019BBC Breakfast host Mike Bushell and Katya Jones returned to the dance floor for a victorious quickstep, after Katya fell during their routine last week.
The pair came back with a bang, with 32 points from the judges, leaving Katya in tears.
“Is this a dream? Is this real?” Mike said following the positive judges’ comments.Mike was happy when Craig gave him a seven! But his face when he gets a nine from Motsi is the definition of OMG!
