Chris Ramsey finds his Strictly mojo

Chris Ramsey came in the top 5 in his second appearance on Strictly Come Dancing tonight.

He and professional partner Karen Hauer scored 26 points from judges for their Charleston to Out of Our Heads by Take That.

It placed them in fifth place on the leaderboard in tonight's scores a notable improvement since last week when the came second from bottom with just 13 points.

With scores from both weeks combined, they came 10th out of 15 couples.

This week's dance, which included an impressive cartwheel, left the comedian gasping for breath afterwards.

Judge Shirley Ballas said Ramsey went from 'ordinary to quite extraordinary' in the space of seven days and 'could possibly be a frontrunner in the personality department'.

Craig Revel Horwood said the routine 'gave him some hope' for Ramsey's chances, Motsi Mabuse said she enjoyed the way his personality was on display, while Bruno Tolioni said their dance was 'entertaining and charming, without going bonkers'.
