Darcey Bussell told them: "You took my breath away, your musicality, the phrasing, the drama you brought to a Viennese waltz."

Shirley Ballas praised the "lovely storytelling", but criticised Tozer's technique, prompting a heated debate with Craig Revel Horwood, who urged them not to listen to the head judge.

He said: "That was absolutely gorgeous. This is probably the best dance we've seen tonight."
