Strictly’s Danny Mac tops the leaderboard AGAIN after wowing the judges with an awe-inspiring tango
STRICTLY's Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse have topped the leaderboard again after a dreamy tango sent them right to the top.
The pair scored 38 for their routine, with Darcey Bussell calling it "fabulous" and Bruno Tonioli "a dreamboat of a tango";.
They had danced to 'One Night Only' from Dreamgirls.
While Len did criticise some of his technique, he remarked that he was "one heck of a dancer".
He nabbed a two nines from Craig and Len and 10s from Darcey and Bruno.
Danny and Oti were closely followed by Claudia Fragapane and Louise Redknapp, who drew near the top of the leaderboard with a score of 37.
Claudia and AJ wowed the judges with a spectacular salsa 'I Just Can't Wait To Be King' on Strictly, with Bruno complimenting her on "finally letting [her] hair down".
She managed to get a 10 from Bruno, who also said that he thought it was the best he'd seen her as a character.
Bruno was very generous with his 10s this evening and also awarded one to Louise and Kevin Clifton.
Craig remarked on her "brilliant characterisation" while Len said it was "more West End stage" than "Deadwood Stage" (a reference to the song they'd danced to).

Craig commented that it had "sway, elegance and class", while Darcey said that it was "gliding with style".
Trailing at the bottom were Judge Rinder and Oksana Platero's samba to Jersey Boys' 'Oh! What a Night!', which failed to make a substantial impression on the judges.
Craig and Bruno commented that it was "flat-footed", but admitted that it was "great fun".
He nabbed a seven from Craig and three eights.
