Last weekend on Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> saw Layton Williams<\/a> score an almost perfect score of 40 as he performed an Argentine Tango along with his professional dance partner Nikita Kuzmin.<\/p>\n

While three of the Strictly Come Dancing judges<\/a>, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke gave him 10s across the board, Craig Revel Horwood marked him 1 point down, despite not criticising the performance.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> on behalf of ICE36<\/a>, former Strictly pro and Argentine Tango expert Vincent Simone shared why he agrees with Craig\u2019s lower score, admitting the dance was too \u201cintense\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree with what Craig said that it was too aggressive. It was very intense. I mean, listen, I loved it and I wouldn\u2019t change anything. I think it was perfect for them at the moment to do it that way. But, it\u2019s not supposed to be stiff upper body parts, you know, being stiff and hard and sharp and so on. It still needs to be kind of soft,\u201d Vincent explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can have the intensity, but it still needs to be more towards each other. Be more soft and be more into each other. So it was too stiff and too hard for being a tango. There was too much attack like Craig said, so I totally agree with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI\u2019m a Tango expert, so for me I probably would have given them a nine. There are technical elements, which unfortunately you can\u2019t achieve within a week or two weeks or even like six months, you need years of experience. But if there was a nine and a half, I would have given them that.\u201d<\/p>\n
