Strictly legend Angela Rippon's 'wardrobe malfunction' steals the show

Angela Rippon, the 79-year-old Strictly legend, suffered a 'wardrobe malfunction' after her sensual rumba wowed the judges. Performing with pro partner Kai Widdrington, Rippon danced to Conchita Wurst's Rise Like a Phoenix and impressed the panel, receiving an impressive score of 31 out of 40. However, at the end of the performance, Rippon's shoe nearly came off on the dance floor. Widdrington rushed to the rescue, fixing the shoe as Rippon made her way over to host Tess Daly. Viewers at home praised their dance, with some even predicting that Rippon could win the competition.

Judge Anton's bizarre behaviour captures attention

While Rippon's performance stole the show, some viewers were more focused on judge Anton du Beke's behavior. During Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Lauren Oakley's Pasodoble, du Beke copied all the moves at the start of the performance, prompting some to joke that they were going to 'call 999' over his antics. Despite the distraction, the dancers delivered a strong routine.

Emotional moment for Corrie star Ellie Leach

Coronation Street star Ellie Leach had an emotional moment after receiving what she perceived as 'harsh' criticism from the judges. Leach and her partner Vito Coppola danced the Samba to Barry Manilow's Copacabana and delivered a great performance. However, they only received 28 points, leaving Leach feeling like she had let her partner down.
