The veteran broadcaster wowed the panel once again with her Foxtrot to Frank Sinatra’s You Make Me Feel So Young.
Last week, Angela Rippon wowed Strictly Come Dancing fans with an incredible high kick at the end of her Cha Cha Cha – and tonight the legendary broadcaster dazzled the judging panel once again with another impressive routine.
Angela – who at 78 is the oldest contestant in Strictly history – danced the foxtrot to You Make Me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra and received some brilliant comments on her way to a score of 31.
Anton Du Beke called the performance “dreamy” and “gorgeous” while Craig Revel Horwood said that it was “absolutely extraordinary.”
He added that Angela and her professional partner Kai Widdrington made “an absolutely brilliant partnership.”
Meanwhile, Motsi Mabuse was also effusive, saying: “Angela watching you, you forget what’s going around in the world, you forget absolutely everything – it’s just the goosebumps.”

She continued: “Beautiful dancing, beautiful footwork, beautiful arms – it’s just so, so charming.”
And Shirley Ballas said that “of the whole evening your frame is the best” adding that Angela showed “that dance has no age limit” and that she was “absolutely fantastic.”
Angela’s score of 31 puts her in joint third place on tonight’s leaderboard and gives her a combined score of 59 from weeks one and two, putting her comfortably in the top half ahead of the public vote.
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday 30th September at 6:20pm. The results show will air on Sunday 1st October on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
