Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left divided by Tom Fletcher and Amy Dowden’s paso doble.
After struggling with his Halloween week tango, McFly star Fletcher returned to the dance floor on Saturday (6 November) night with a traditional paso.
The judges were wowed by the performance, with Craig Revel Horwood saying that he had never seen such a “convincing” paso by a male celebrity on Strictly.

Shirley Ballas, meanwhile, praised Fletcher’s Spanish line and said that she enjoyed seeing a rendition of the dance that was less “aggressive” and more “classical and balletic”.
Fletcher and Dowden received 38 points, including two 10s from Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas, making it their highest score of the series.
However, viewers at home were less sure of the performance – while some loved it, others felt it lacked flow and was “overmarked”.
“I give Tom and Amy 9 out of 10. This was incredible! Pretty much every line was struck beautifully. The cape work was also excellent! I did see some tiny issues, but WOAH!” one viewer wrote.
