"Just to get hold of those nerves and control that. Listen to that music and it will help you to relax. You're through to next week so enjoy it."
Craig Revel Horwood added: "Your balance was a little bit questionable. Your arms had nice placement out of hold.
"And then you went horribly wrong half way through but you managed to get back into it."
But Katie insisted she did enjoy the dance, saying: "It's a high pressure environment but I did really enjoy it."
