The tenth week of Strictly Come Dancing kicked off on Saturday night with a powerful Paso Doble by Rose Ayling-Ellis and her pro partner Giovanni Pernice.
The deaf actress, 27, and the Italian dancer, 31, performed the out-of-comfort-zone routine to Sia's California Dreamin', which received mostly positive feedback from the judges.
Head judge Shirley Ballas praised: 'What a way to open the show. You are a class act. You are bringing it week in and week out.'

Craig Revel Horwood, who was back on the panel after testing positive for COVID-19, commended the choreography however wasn't as impressed as his fellow judges.
'I thought it was a little upright and stiff. I didn't feel you pound around the floor as much as you could,' he said.
They scored 33 for their efforts.
Elsewhere, Cynthia Erivo made her second appearance on the judging panel, this week filling in for Motsi Mabuse, who revealed she wouldn't be on the show after being pinged by NHS Test and Trace.
