Craig Revel Horwood: "Your free arm lacked energy - you have to remember you have a free arms. The kicks and flicks were not as precise as I thought they could be. But you embodied that character - I totally believed you were a mechanic." 6/10

Maisie Smith and Gorka Marquez

Craig Revel Horwood: "I thought the footwork could be a little bit cleaner and smoother. Your arms however are absolutely incredible - I loved every single lift, you are a superb dancer." 8/10
Shirley Ballas: "You are definitely a very capable young lady. But you have to work on your feet - spend that little bit of extra time on your footwork and it will take you where you need to go for sure." 7/10

Caroline Quentin and Johannes Radebe
Dance: Couples' Choice
Song: 'Everything's Coming Up Roses' by Ethel Merman from Gypsy
Craig Revel Horwood: "I think you set the character up really really well but it didn't then translate into the dance. The woman you're playing... there needs to be more desperation in the dance. But you are a fantastic dancer, my goodness." 6/10
Shirley Ballas: "Every week I only expect a little bit of improvement and you did that for me. I think you came back this week a little bit better than last week - that's all you can ask for." 7/10

TOTAL SCORE: 21/30

Jason Bell and Luba Mushtuk
Dance: Paso Doble
Song: 'Star Wars Theme' by John Williams from Star Wars
Shirley Ballas: "I enjoyed the knee walks and I thought the slide in the middle was extremely committed, but I failed to find the character of the paso doble in this. I found it was a little missing for me but I do applaud you for trying hard." 4/10
Motsi Mabuse: "I can see the motivation and attack and energy you put into everything - I have to applaud it." 5/10
Craig Revel Horwood: "You don't know the power of the dark side darling. I felt you were dancing by numbers - I know that seems harsh. You're picking your feet up way too much and the smiling really killed it. I do love you darling but I did have to be honest there I'm afraid." 3/10
TOTAL SCORE: 12/30

Song: 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' by B.J. Thomas from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Dance: Cha Cha
Song: 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' by Elton John and Kiki Dee from Gnomeo and Juliet

Shirley Ballas: "I absolutely loved the concept - you are super cool. There was not enough content but I loved with what you did." 7/10

Dance: Tango
Song: 'Lady Marmalade' by Pink, Mya, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera from Moulin Rouge

Shirley Ballas: "I feel like I'm copying, I wrote the same note myself - it was a disco-tango feeling but for me, I didn't quite like it. But good try, well done." 6/10
Motsi Mabuse: "I do see an improvement, let's be happy about that. You have energy, you have power, you just need to work on controlling it and directing it." 7/10

Max George and Dianne Buswell
Dance: Couples' Choice

Motsi Mabuse: "This is what I'm talking about. I think because you've got the costume, you were more outgoing. Homer in the house." 8/10
Craig Revel Horwood: "Risky, difficult, it was sort of a street charleston. I think people are either going to love it or hate it... and I loved it." 8/10
