I could watch Kelvin dance all day, every day. Real man dancing his heart out and truly enjoying it. Fab pairing with Oti.

Kelvin is a real man, all big heart and big smile. I just love the pairing of these two. Oti matches Kelvin's big smile perfectly. They both radiate joy and warmth and hard work. I love the way Kelvin puts everything into his dance. No half hearted way, just sheer enjoyment.

I don't watch Strictly at all but my missus insisted. And what should come on but this. I couldn't take my eyes off the tele. Genuinely entertained and I loved every second. Pure joy and happiness. What a song. I've been making breakfast in the kitchen for days to this song poorly imitating these guys dancing but with zero care in the world. Laughter is infectious. Love is catching. They cheered me up no end. Thanks guys.

there was so much joy in this dance the whole way through, loved it. when i first heard which song they were dancing to i wondered how on earth it'd fit street, but the choreographers did such a great job. i've said it before but i love how, despite having to stick to a theme, every couple's choice looks so different and unique, i loved the commercial mix with this song and theme, somehow it all fitted together perfectly. especially LOVED the drum section, so good

Best.coupling they have EVER had on Strictly!! Just look at his eyes!! He LOVES it xxx

Oti really is a genius with the choreography and she had a fantastic partner to share her genius with.

I love that he tucked the chair back under the table at the end 👍😂😂

My favourite couple this season ... for the win kelvin and oti 🏆

Oti's Choreography was AMAZING!!!! The singers sounded AMAZING!!!! Great dance Kelvin :)

Oti is such an amazing dancer Kelvin is pretty good too :D

May not be his best, but it was cool. He's done better but I liked this. Did not expect it to be Street, which reminds me, did any notice that they didn't specify what dance style it was in the I tor and just said Couple's Choice, unlike what they normally do?

It was like watching a number from a Broadway musical. Kelvin's musicality was FLAWLESS and the cleanness of all the lines he has created was FANTASTIC. I also loved the partnership between him and Oti - the togetherness of this routine was superb. Haven't that all that, for me it was more of a jazz routine, for me it was lacking much more street dance content and more difficult steps - I wanted to see less "musical theater oriented" steps and much more "hip hop\ breakdance oriented" steps. It felt more of jazz number in my opinion. It was perfect in many ways, but there wasn't enough actual street dancing style in it. An 8.
