Strictly Come Dancing Star’s Hilarious Demand to Partner Caught on Hidden Mic Moment
The competition on Strictly Come Dancing is heating up, with contestants vying for a spot in the finals. Last weekend, viewers witnessed a dramatic elimination when Alex Kingston faced Balvinder Sopal in a tense dance-off. Ultimately, the judges voted to keep Sopal, resulting in Kingston’s departure.
Kingston finished the evening at the bottom of the leaderboard with a score of 23, but her total improved to 26 after participating in the new Instant Dance Challenge. This innovative challenge allowed couples to randomly select a dance style from their previous performances, adding an exciting twist to the competition. They had just ten seconds to devise their choreography upon learning their song.
Highlights from the Instant Dance Challenge
Among the notable moments captured during the Instant Dance Challenge was West End star Amber Davies, who tackled the Samba to Shakira’s “Whenever, Wherever.” In a humorous exchange, she shouted instructions to her partner, Nikita Kuzmin, saying, “Get on your knees!” This amusing moment was shared on Strictly’s official Instagram, prompting enthusiastic reactions from fans.
Fan Reactions
- One fan commented on Davies’ commanding presence, saying, “QUEEN behaviour and we are HERE FOR IT.”
- Another chimed in with, “Nikita – ma’am, yes ma’am!”
- Viewers delighted in Davies’ spirited performance, with one stating, “Every pro frantically telling their celeb what to do, then there’s Amber.”
Davies’ Instant Dance earned her an additional four points, bringing her total score to 44, placing her atop the leaderboard. Lewis Cope follows closely with a combined score of 42.
