The dancing was very impressive by some tonight on Strictly, but it was overshadowed by judge Craig Revel- Horwood who standing in for Bruno Tonioli emulated his style even falling off his chair.
Revel-Horwood was preparing to discuss Debbie McGee's performance which he claimed: "darling you were sensational" and McGee and her partner got a nine.

But it was not just from Craig Revel-Horwood, they get a nine from judges Darcey Bussell and Shirley Ballas too for their Rumba to Baby Can I Hold You by Tracy Chapman.
This is the first time that Tonioli, who has been a judge on the series since it began in 2004, will miss filming the show.
Elsewhere, Eastenders actor Davood Ghadami proved his acting skills were so good that the judges felt the chemistry with his partner Nadiya Bychkova in their samba was like a "race to the bedroom".
Ghadami was in the dance-off last weekend against Charlotte Hawkins, as she became the latest celebrity to leave the BBC1 show last week.
Other highlights of tonight's show were Susan Calman and Aston Merrygold.

But the best of all securing a 10 was Joe McFadden and his partner.

Alexandra Burke who has been clocking up the scores, delivered a great performance despite being told she danced with pigeon toes secured an 8 and two sevens.
