Strictly Come Dancing star 'not in sync' with partner as pro says 'it was the worst dance'

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Ola Jordan has labelled Sam Quek's latest routine a "mess" while describing it as the worst dance of last week's show.

For Strictly's Halloween week, Sam and her professional dance partner Nikita Kuzmin performed an energetic Jive to the song Time Warp. The pair had the crowd roaring as they both stripped off during their dance to expose saucy dresses underneath their snug costumes.

Sam and Nikita also received high praise from the judges and were awarded 31 points -their highest score yet.

But pro dancer Ola was not impressed by the high energy dance sequence and gsve advice on what she thinks the couple could improve on. Talking Mecca Bingo, Ola failed to mince her words.

She said: "That was probably my least favourite dance of Sam's. I feel that dance was overmarked."

She continued: "I think it was a mess when I was looking at it, I was like, what is this?

"I think the whole taking the costume off was a bit of a distraction for her and she was so buzzing. You get this buzz from doing a live show. She was so buzzing and then they were going wrong, they were not in sync. Actually, it was the worst dance for her again."

Ola also shared her thoughts on Sam's previous dances since the show kicked off in September and said: "The other dances that she did were actually pretty good, but this one was definitely not my favourite, and I find it really strange that she got the best scores for that dance. I feel like she's been overmarked this week. I didn't like it at all."

Sharing her advice on how Sam can improve, Ola added: "I think she's like one of the people that never had any dance training, and you can tell that, with her arms she didn't know where to put her arms, but she's got to be taught that. I think Nikita's got to bring it back to basic.

"He's got to go through her basics, her Jive action wasn't great, her kicks were good, but her actual Jive action wasn't great. He should be working on those things and improving her arm position."

"For someone like that who has never danced before, it needs to be taught. She's got to really get down into the technique and start from the beginning. Every dance has got to be based on technique."

"For that one, they definitely didn't spend that much time on the technique, that's for sure. Or he didn't. And he needs to concentrate on that for me, I think," she expressed.

Strictly Come Dancing returns Saturday at 6:30pm on BBC One.
