Fans of the popular BBC show have taken to Twitter to applaud the stunning performance, praising the show for having a same-sex pairing dance to a song from LGBTQ+ icon, Adam.

Sharing a clip of the stunning performance, one fan wrote: "I would like to speak to whoever asked Nikita and Carlos to dance together for Adam Lambert’s performance… and ask them to do it again every single week. Best dance of the series right there."

Fans praised Nikita and Carlos' epic performance

A number of other fans simply commended the impressive dance, with one person writing: "This dance was absolutely glorious. They were a perfect partnership and the interpretation of the song was superb. The singer gave an excellent rendition that worked so well for this. Altogether what I watch the program for," while another added: "Nikita and Carlos's dance to 'I'm mad about the boy' was electric, passionate and compulsive viewing. Brilliant! The dancers moved sensually and embodied the tune perfectly with their dance routine. A treat to watch!"

Sunday night's show was bittersweet, however, as while fans enjoyed the amazing pro performances, they had to say goodbye to DJ Richie Anderson and his dance partner Giovanni Pernice after the pair found themselves in the bottom two.

Unfortunately, their Samba to Hakuna Matata from The Lion King in the dance-off wasn't enough to save them and the pair were sent home by the judges, sending Fleur East and her partner Vito Coppola through to next week's show.
