Comedian Chris McCausland wowed with a Wayne’s World-inspired routine alongside professional partner Dianne Buswell as Strictly Come Dancing's Movie Week kicked off.

The 47 year old and Buswell channelled the film’s iconic duo in tonight's show, earning praise from judge Craig Revel-Horwood who said their performance was "packed full of fantastic rhythm" Revel-Horwood commented: "Strong at kickball changes, they’re a little bit heavy for my liking, but it was full, packed full of fantastic rhythm."Meanwhile, singer Toyah Willcox and Neil Jones danced the samba to Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid, scoring a lowly 15.

Revel-Horwood critiqued that the singer seemed "stuck in the mud" during her performance.He remarked: "It was all a bit stuck in the mud and flat-footed, but you know what, you brought a magnificent attitude and fantastic character to that dance."The critique session took an unexpected turn when Willcox’s husband, King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp, heckled Revel-Horwood as he reviewed her octopus-themed performance – a creature which she later admitted her husband fears.This year's movie week also featured Olympian Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe performing a tango to One Night Only from Dreamgirls, securing a solid score of 28 after each judge awarded them seven points.DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles and his partner Luba Mushtuk were set to deliver a Charleston to Rain On The Roof from Paddington 2, but Knowles had to withdraw on Friday.At the beginning of the episode, host Claudia Winkleman expressed her well wishes to Nick Knowles, hoping for his "speedy recovery".
