Strictly Come Dancing stars Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin performed a stunning Argentine Tango last night (October 18).
However, the routine – which showcased a number of seriously impressive lifts and several near-kisses – only scored 33 points.
Amber and Nikita’s Argentine Tango scores
Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke gave the dance an 8. Motsi Mabuse, meanwhile, scored it a 9.
This left the pair in third place on the Strictly Come Dancing Week 4 leaderboard. Alex Kingston sits at the top after her rumba. In second place is ex-Emmerdale star Lewis Cope after his American Smooth.
Viewers at home, meanwhile, declared that Amber and pro partner Nikita were robbed – and said that the dance deserved 10s.

‘How this could be anything less than a 10 is beyond me’
“Undermarked. Phenomenal,” said one. Another commented: “Amber you were robbed on scores that was SENSATIONAL. One of the best dances I’ve ever seen on all the series of this show.” “Amber you was absolutely robbed!! This was the best dance I have ever seen,” said another fan.
“How this didn’t get a 10 is beyond me!! Absolutely incredible,” said another. “I was expecting four 10s!” another agreed. “For me this was 10s across the board!” said another. “SEVERELY underscored. How this could be anything less than a 10 is beyond me!!!!! One of the best danced Argentine Tangos I’ve seen on this show,” said another.
“10!!!!!!!!!! Definitely underscored. The tension, chemistry and dancing were incredible,” another agreed. “Sorry but this was massively undermarked. Were the judges watching the same dance routine as me?!” another asked.
Amber and Nikita’s ‘near-kiss’
Elsewhere, talk on social media was about the sizzling chemistry between Amber and Nikita.
“Did they kiss?!” asked one. “Feel like I’m interrupting something here with Amber and Nikita,” another commented. “I feel like the Strictly curse is there,” said a third.
However, others reminded commenters that both Amber and Nikita have long-term partners. And Nikita’s girlfriend Lauren has previously posted asking viewers to “be respectful” of the dancers’ real-life partners.
One level-headed viewer commented: “If you’re gonna talk about the #strictly curse again for Amber and Nikita, her boyfriend told Amber to act in the dance. He’s very supportive of her.” “Why do people do this?? Genuinely. Amber and Nikita both have partners and both partners have already asked people to stop this crap,” said another.
