• Their impressive Charleston routine, performed live from Blackpool to Arctic Monkeys' 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor', earned them 10s from all four judges.
• Judges Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas, and Anton Du Beke lauded their energy, synchronicity, and breathtaking performance, with Craig Revel Horwood simply calling it 'Fabulous'.
• Fans also praised Cope's performance, with one viewer suggesting he had already won the 2025 series and another stating they would have given him 110 points.
