Faye Tozer and Giovanni Pernice's sultry Paso Doble was very intense, not least because of Giovanni's striking mesh poloneck. Let's hope this style catches on.

The group professional dance, to the voice of Gloria Estefan who performed a string of her hit songs live, was completely mad and such a fabulous way to open Blackpool Week.
