Strictly was back and bigger than ever for Week Two as the couple’s descended on the dancefloor once again.
While the celebrities didn’t face the public vote last week, this week will see the two lowest scoring pair’s fight for their survival in the dance off on Sunday night.
And the night didn’t come without it’s dramas after a series of trips, on and off the dancefloor, a new dark horse emerging, and Thomas Skinner’s bizarre salsa.
Meanwhile Ross King was overcome with emotion as he shed a tear at the end of his waltz after dedicating it to his home country of Scotland.

The former Love Islander was celebrating her 29th birthday on Saturday night and after scoring a whopping 29 for her Samba on only week two, she now has a combined score of 56 following last week’s scores.
