Third up were social media star Kayleigh Trappe and her partner Ervinas Merfeldas were aiming for purr-fection when they took on a Quickstep to the title track from The Aristocats.

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.

Arthur said: You bring me joy every week!

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.

Karen said: You took Movie Week by storm. I was dying to see you looking all serious. The character, the tricks I'm sweating!

Arthur said: This production was breathtaking. I was here for it epic!

Brian said: I was a bit worried about you last week but for me this performance puts you back among red carpet royalty.

Danny and Salome scored a total of 25 points.

Performing eighth on the night Kin actress Yasmin Seky channelled her inner-Disney princess when she and her partner, Simone Arena danced the first Contemporary Ballroom of the season to How Far I'll Go from Moana.

Arthur said: I have a daughter Blake who loves Moana and she will love this dance.

Yasmin and Simone scored a total of 26 points.

Chef Kevin Dundon turned green when he and his partner Rebecca Scott danced to I'm a Believer by Smash Mouth from the classic Shrek.
