Bobby and Dianne danced around to La Rou’s hit In For The Kill as they kickstarted another day of practising the Latin dance.
Last week, the pair impressed with a Charleston to Do Your Thing by Basement Jaxx, and scored 29 points out of 40.
Dazzling both the audience and fans at home with their routine, the actor lifted his partner into the air, during the ‘soulful’ dance.
Anton Du Beke said it had ‘great swivel,’ and was ‘absolutely terrific,’ but Craig noted that his expressions could have been ‘more exaggerated.’
