Everyone pulled out their best moves on the dance floor this weekend for Movie Week, especially Lewis Cope and Katya Jones, who scored the first 10 of the series with their Paso Doble to The Plaza of Execution from The Mask of Zorro. The duo scored three points away from a perfect 40.

Once they finished their epic performance, they headed towards the other couples and Claudia who was jumping for joy for them.

“Honestly, what an unbelievable danceI need you to know that your fellow players were screaming. Did you enjoy that?” she quickly asked them as she stumbled between ‘dancers’ and ‘players’.

Fans clipped the blunder and shared it on social media, joking: “When you forget which show you’re presenting…” Fans were guffawing after spotting the mistake and rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts.

Ross was paired with professional dancer Jowita Przystał and many fans of the show took to social media to share how ‘proud’ they were of him. The ITV legend was the second person to be voted off after Thomas Skinner, who danced with pro Amy Dowden, was voted off last week.

Fans took to X, formally known as Twitter, to share their thoughts as one person wrote: “Kudos to Ross. Went in there with zero dance experience. Worked hard and clearly enjoyed every minute of it. He should he proud of himself. But the right decision nonetheless”.

Another added: “Ross, from where you started your Paso this week, it’s clear you went out on a high and can be so proud of what you achieved over these past few weeks. And Jowita, you have been brilliant with Ross and deserve your flowers. Much love xx”.

A third added: “Congratulations, Ross. I think dancing 3 weeks means so much to you, and you should feel proud of your Strictly journey”.

A fourth said: “Awww welll done #rossking he really came on a journey considering he couldn’t trance a step!”.
