Nic boxes clever, Maisie amazes

BOXER Nicola Adams pulled no punches in a couples choice routine with partner Katya to leave herself third from top.

She picked up 24 points, as did Bill Bailey who morphed into Dr Dolittle for a charming Quickstep with Oti Mabuse to Talk to the Animals. EastEnder Maisie Smith’s Tango with Gorka scored an impressive 25, putting her top of the leaderboard last night with a combined score of 49 along with HRVY.

The lowest score of 12 came from ex-Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.

Judge Craig described her Samba with Anton as looking like she was “limping about lost at a party, drunk”.

Jason Bell and Luba Mushtuk were the final act of the night and scored 18 dancing the salsa to Get Lucky by Daft Punk in matching yellow outfits.
