This year\u2019s Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> semi-final kicked off in style, with Bobby Brazier<\/a> and his partner Dianne Buswell performing a stylish Quickstep to Mack the Knife by Bobby Darin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Judges heaped praise on the routine, with Shirley saying Bobby is now \u201cthe king of ballroom\u201d<\/a>. It led to the couple getting their best score of the season yet, 38 points, but they wouldn\u2019t have long to celebrate, as they had to prepare for their second dance of the night.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, this was the first week in which each of the couples had to perform two dances, with Bobby and Dianne going on to perform a Paso Doble to Run Boy Run by Woodkid.<\/p>\n

Next, it was Layton Williams<\/a>\u2018s turn to take to the dance floor, with he and partner Nikita Kuzmin getting a slightly<\/em> more mixed reception to their Rumba to Lift Me Up by Rihanna.<\/p>\n
