Strictly’s Anton Praises Brilliant Performance as One of the Best in Series History
In the latest live episode of Strictly Come Dancing, Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin delivered a performance that has garnered unprecedented acclaim. Following their breakout Charleston to “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” from Guys and Dolls, both judges and the audience were left in awe.
Outstanding Performance Earns High Praise
Anton Du Beke, one of the show’s esteemed judges, lauded their routine as potentially the greatest dance in the program’s history. He expressed his admiration, stating, “This was so brilliant. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this.” Du Beke emphasized how challenging it would be to find a dance of equal merit in the series’ past.
Judge Reactions
The feedback from the judging panel was overwhelmingly positive:
- Craig Revel Horwood: He praised the technical excellence of the performance, describing the “timing and execution” as flawless. Noting the routine’s exceptional quality, he humorously remarked that it was “too clean” and “too neat.”
- Motsi Mabuse: Showcasing her excitement, Mabuse declared, “I have never, ever seen anything like that. One word: perfection.” This elicited jubilant cheers from the audience.
- Shirley Ballas: She spotlighted Amber’s talent, calling her an “absolute star, in every sense of the word,” and labeled the routine as “absolutely fantastic.”
Perfect Score Highlights Success
As a testament to their stellar performance, Amber and Nikita received a perfect score of 40, with each of the four judges awarding them a maximum of 10 points. This marks the second consecutive week they have topped the Strictly leaderboard, previously achieving a perfect score for their Jive to “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner.
Looking Ahead
With the competition intensifying, Amber and Nikita aim to sustain their winning momentum in the final weeks as they vie for the coveted Glitterball trophy. The next episode of Strictly Come Dancing will air on BBC One and iPlayer on Sunday, 7th December at 7:45 PM, promising further thrilling performances and excitement.
