Russell Grant provided the most eye-catching dance of the evening again on Strictly Come Dancing last night as he started his performance of the paso doble on top of a bucking bronco.
The TV astrologer and Flavia Cacace finished bottom of the judges' leaderboard, but won praise for their "Benny Hill-esque" routine that involved Grant riding a giant bull prop on the dancefloor.
Judge Bruno Tonioli described it as being like the "Benny Hill version of the paso" and claimed that Grant was "demented and fabulous at the same time".
Guest judge Jennifer Grey commented: "I've been looking at your stars Russell and you'll be here for a long while."
Craig Revel Horwood was rendered almost speechless by the performance, uttering only the word "astonishing".
Chelsee Healey recovered from last week's wardrobe malfunction setback to pick up 36 points for her charleston dance with Pasha Kovalev.
Jennifer Grey referenced the famous quote from her most famous movie Dirty Dancing, adding: "Keep dancing like that and nobody is going to put you in the corner."
Craig Revel Horwood described the routine as "fab-u-lous".
One Show presenter Alex Jones and James Jordan are also now being tipped as one of the show's favourites after a highly praised quickstep routine earned them 31 points.
Alesha Dixon said the pair were "going places" and Jennifer Grey added: "It was like a fine champagne. Bubbly, effervescent and it made me feel giddy."
The Strictly results show airs tonight on BBC One and will feature a guest performance from Westlife.
