By the end of the night, Layton Williams and Ellie Leach had topped the leaderboard with a joint score of 39.
Close behind was Angela Scanlon with 38 points after she impressed the judges with her Argentine Tango.
Angela, 39, has had ups and downs during the competition with her scoring, but tonight she got 10s off three of the judges - except Craig.
It's left many convinced that she could be the dark horse of the competition, and go on to lift the glitterball trophy with pro partner Carlos Gu.
