After becoming the show’s oldest ever contestant, broadcaster Angela Rippon stunned viewers with her impressive flexibility during her debut dance with pro Kai Widdrington.

For viewers who missed last week’s action, all 16 couples took to the dancefloor for the first time, with Amanda Abbington and Giovanni Pernice keen to queel rumours of a behind-the-scenes feud.
