Brian said: That was so fast you were like a cat on a hot tin roof! It did get a little skittish in the middle but your shoulder line was beautiful. In comparison to last week you should be feline alot happier.
Karen said: You're great at being different characters. I was watching thinking how is she that good at being a cat? That was a jam packed quick step but you kept your frame even with that tail it didn't phase you at all.
Kayleigh and Ervinas scored a total of 21 points.

Karen said: Ballroom seems to be your thing. It was a lovely, neat dance.
Joanna and Maciej scored a total of 17 points.
Ireland AM presenter Elaine Crowley and Denys Samson performed an energetic Jive to You Can't Stop the Beat from Hairspray.
Brian said: That was really interesting for me to watch. After the catastrophe that was last week I could see your confidence coming back step by step. More bounce needed but you bounced back.
Karen said: I feel like a proud mammy watching you. Your spark is back. The real question is who uses more hairspray you or Denys? Well done you.
Elaine and Denys scored a total of 18 points.
Following in Paul Mescal's footsteps, Mrs. Brown's Boys actor Danny O'Carroll and his partner Salome Chachua delivered the drama with a Paso Doble to Now We Are Free from Gladiator.
