Another week, another glitzy instalment of Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> and the stakes are higher than ever as our batch of contestants are taking to the dance floor to not only give it their all, but also to try to make it to next week\u2019s anticipated semi-final.<\/p>\n

With the judges disagreeing about some of the night\u2019s earlier dances, it seems as though they were united in heaping the praise on Annabel Croft<\/a>\u2018s Paso Doble with professional partner Johannes Radebe.<\/p>\n

Croft performed the Paso Doble to Espa\u00f1a Ca\u00f1i by Trad and their hard work paid off as the dance scored one of the highest scores of the night so far, with a 36 \u2013 her highest score of the series so far.<\/p>

Not only was the score a high one but judge Anton Du Beke scored it the perfect 10, which was a welcome surprise to the dancing pair and the pair\u2019s first 10.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all to play for in this week\u2019s Strictly as the pairs continue competing for the Glitterball Trophy and also, a coveted spot in next week\u2019s musical special.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last weekend, Annabel and her professional dance partner Johannes Radebe scored 35 points for their American Smooth to Unchained Melody by Benedetta Caretta.<\/div>\n\n
Croft and Radebe have continued to be a strong force to compete against in this year\u2019s Strictly, having previously moved the audience, judges and viewers alike with their performance\u00a0to Wings by Birdy.<\/div>\n\n
During their performance, Annabel paid tribute to her late husband<\/a>, Mel Coleman, who died earlier this year, months after being diagnosed with cancer.<\/div>\n

The former tennis player is up against the likes of Ellie Leach<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Layton Williams<\/a>, as well as Nigel Harman<\/a>, Bobby Brazier<\/a> and Angela Scanlon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
