Charlotte was left in tears last week after coming under fire for a series of mistakes she made on the dance floor.

She came back stronger with this week with a fiery performance to Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone Top Gun theme.

The newsreader and her partner Brendan Cole sexed up their performance as promised - and their saucy Tango made a big impression.

Fans flocked to Twitter to praise Charlotte over her sexy routine, calling it a big improvement on last week , and even Piers gave her a tweet.

The notoriously difficult to please GMB host wrote: "Much better, Ms Hawkins! You remembered what I taught you. #MaverickMorgan."

But many fans felt the performance was overshadowed by Brendan's subsequent row with judge Shirley Ballas.

As they faced the panel, Brendan admitted messing up his footwork, saying: "I messed up. It was me. I put my hands up."

But he got a roasting from Shirley over the "rise and falls" in the tango.

Brendan hit back, insisting there were none in the routine, and they ended up bickering.

He said: "I'm sorry, but there were no rise and falls."

Shirley snipped back: "You should play it back, my dear."
