Strictly: Jamie Laing

“This Couples’ Choice saw Jamie looking like the pro dancer. He led most of the moves without a glance at Karen and he got to showcase his energy as well as his talent for precise timing.

“Jamie was now strutting and celebrating after his routines, hugging Karen’s head and air-punching to signal he’d managed and overpowered any of his own confidence issues on the dancefloor.”

During his impressive week five performance, Jamie appeared more confident and seemed to take the lead with his partner.

The expert suggested he used his new confidence to power through any trials in the following weeks.

She said: “In week eight, Jamie had the problem of having peaked on week five and, a bit like Bill Bailey, he needed another killer dance to perform alongside his Couples’ Choice for the finale.
