Strictly Come Dancing fans were not pleased with the opening act of the third live show, which featured a Glitterball mystery sketch instead of jumping straight into the dancing action. Viewers took to social media to express their frustration, with some calling for the show to start already. Despite the mixed reactions to the opening, the themed Movie Week special continued with professional dancers embodying characters from the Despicable Me series.
Kai Widdrington took on the role of Gru, while other dancers transformed into the beloved Minions. The performances throughout the evening were inspired by various films, with dancers and their celebrity partners captivating the audience with expertly tailored costumes and choreography.
Unfortunately, Nick Knowles and his partner Luba Mushtuk had to withdraw from their Charleston performance due to an injury Nick sustained. Following the show’s rules, they will receive a bye into the next week’s show as Nick recovers. This news comes after Olympian Tom Dean and Nadiya Bychkova were the first couple to be eliminated from the contest.
Despite the setbacks, fans can look forward to the upcoming shows as the remaining couples continue to compete for the coveted Glitterball trophy. Stay tuned for more dazzling performances and unexpected twists on Strictly Come Dancing.
