Stacey Dooley had perhaps her best night on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.
Her partner Kevin Clifton was tasked with teaching Stacey the Paso Doble – one of the toughest dances in the show.
And their incredible performance bagged them 39 points overall – comprised of three perfect scores from the judges.
However as soon as they left the performance area Stacey and Kevin were rushed off to get changed for their next outing.
Noting this, It Takes Two host Zoe Ball pointed out Stacey was seen running around the Lindy Hop-a-thon on Kevin’s back during the performance.
Stacey and Kevin went on to explain their thinking behind this dance move, and why it was necessary.
Once the dancers were thrown into the first ever Lindy Hop-a-thon routine, they were all pitted against each other simultaneously.
Speaking about the performance Kevin admitted: “We were at a slight disadvantage because we went straight on.
“And all the other couples – they were downstairs having a little practice!
“So I’m thinking: ‘She’s probably a bit tired.’”
“But also that is a Lindy Hop thing, when they play the guitar,” he explained, while mimicking the playing motion.
He went on to add: “I thought, in rehearsals, everyone is standing on the spot.
“So we thought we’d run around a bit.”
