Despite the competition far from being over, the competition is getting tougher every week as the Strictly Come Dancing contestants have certainly been stepping up their game. This week, Denise Van Outen, managed to set the dancefloor on fire with her fiery paso doble that bags her four 9s from the judges and the highest score of the series. She manage to do better than her last week’s performance, the former Big Breakfast star wowed with her red hot Spanish themed dance with partner James Jordan. Last week, Denise got three nines; so everyone is expecting that it is going to be impossible to top Denise performance last week. But the blonde presenter proves everyone wrong as she got a standing ovation from the crowd. 'I though it was fantastic, there was flare in the movement and care with the technique,' said an impressed Len Goodman. While Craig Revel Horwood had one criticism, he also confessed how the routine was full of 'drama.' The couple appeared to be mightily pleased to have gotten the highest score of the series so far. With Bruce Forsyth off this week, Claudia Winkleman stepped into his rather hefty shoes and presented together with the statuesque Tess Daly who wowed in a skin-tight black dress complete with white cuffs and collar. Richard Arnold was sent to a dance-off for a second time last week, so he knew that he needed to step up his game this week. Wearing clothes for a hairdresser, he danced the Charleston in true comedic style with partner Erin Boa. Craig said: 'It was your best dance tonight.' Though, Darcey Bussell got a few constructive comments as she admitted that Richard is the true comeback kid. The couple got from all the judges, their highest score of the series, which makes Richard one to watch. Louis Smith, who got a low score last week, but this time he seemed determined to step up his game for his performance this week. Taking to the floor with Flavia Cacace, the Olympian danced the Waltz to Moonriver and got a standing ovation from the audience but a divided reply from the judges. Fern Britton who got distracted by a shirtless Artem Chigvintsev last week but she was more than focused for her salsa this week. The former This Morning presenter whipped off a shirt that reveals a tiny pink dress as she shimmied in front of the judges. The Olympian seemed to be an old school Hollywood actress with her stunning dress and retro hairstyle. The judges got impressed when Victoria showed her footwork. They gave Victoria a score of 30. Dani Harmer displayed her stomach in a high-waisted skirt and crop top for her tango with Vincent Simone, earning her a standing ovation. The judges gave Dani a score of 34, their highest score of the series so far. Westlife's Nicky Byrne got some support from his bandmate Shane Filan in the audience, which means that he had to step up his game. Last week was majorly disappointing for the popstar. This week he danced to the tune of foxtrot with a song from Michale Buble, and Craig admitted to seeing a 'vast improvement' in his dancing. Nicky bagged a score of 30, his best score of the series so far. Kimberley Walsh got her bandmate Cheryl Cole on the audience to support her. The female popstar was awarded 34, which was the highest in the series. Michael Vaughn got positive comments from the judges last week, and this week he danced the salsa with Natalie Lowe. Though, he got some negative comment whenever he danced Latin daces in the past; his performance was better this week. But it wasn’t enough to stay out of the bottom of the leader board. Lisa Riley came out wearing a hat and cane. The actress impressed the judges and has earned her highest score yet.
