Last week she was left in tears when her outfit started falling off during her Halloween tango.

But Waterloo Road actress Chelsee Healey bounced back this week as she topped the leaderboard after her bouncy Charleston.

The 23-year-old and her partner Pasha Kovalev received a 36 for their routine to Ray Henderson's Has Anybody Seen My Gal? - the second time they have topped the leaderboard this series.

Fast-paced: The couple's energetic Charleston drew praises from all the judges

Guest judge Jennifer Grey, who won the U.S. version of Strictly, Dancing With The Stars last year, made a comment related to her famous role in Dirty Dancing.

Grey enthused: 'You're the baby of the competition. But from one Baby to another, you keep dancing like that and nobody's gonna put you in the corner.'

Tonioli added: 'Chelsee the fabulous flapper. It was pleasing and teasing. You were driving the Charleston to the limit.'

The fabulous flapper: Chelsee was praised for being 'pleasing and teasing'

Last week, Healey broke down when her dress started slipping down during her tango, despite being assured by host Tess Daly nobody saw anything.

Singer Lulu opened the show performing the tango to Prince's Kiss with her professional partner Brendan Cole, which received a total of 27.

The dance appeared to go down extremely well with guest judge Grey: 'How gorgeous are you? That was phenomenal. I don't know what they're putting in your porridge but I want some. Obviously we have little slip-ups but I couldn't help but love everything about you.'

Wowing the judges: Craig Revel-Horwood, Jennifer Grey, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli all gave the couple 9s

Great response: Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Jennifer Grey, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli

Bruno Tonioli gave Lulu a mixed response: 'You drive me crazy. You started so well. The frame went. He was dragging you around at the end.'

Craig Revel-Horwood also said Lulu drove him 'mad': 'The head placement was very very poor. You were looking down a lot. Your shoulders were very loose. You keep miming which drives me mad. You need to stop that and tell the story... I really loved the routine.'

Boxer Audley Harrison and partner Natalie Lowe stepped things up after ending up in the bottom two last week.

First to dance: Lulu and Brendan Cole opened Saturday's live show with a tango to Prince's Kiss

Mixed response: Both Bruno and Craig told Lulu she drove them 'crazy' and 'wild' with her miming

They received a total of 27 for their Viennese Waltz to Avril Lavigne's I'm With You.

Alesha Dixon said: 'I much prefer you in ballroom dancing. You had such nice control. I just want you to push it a bit more. You're so charming and endearing.'

Tonioli added: 'I had no idea you could be so delicate, so charming. I could see the connection. You have to be careful on the drive. Sometimes it looked like you were walking.'

Charming and endearing: Audley Harrison and Natalie Lowe hoped their Viennese Waltz would save them from the bottom two again

Slowing things down: The couple received 27 for their performance

McFly's Harry Judd and Aliona Vilani's sizzling samba to Stevie Wonder's I Wish set temperatures rising on the judges panel, receiving a 33.

An over-excited Tonioli said: 'That was samba full of pecs appeal. There were intriguing glimpses of what your hips can do.

'Your bounces were pushed rather than let it happen. You're a very good dancer but this one was slightly forced. It's got to be natural.'

Sizzling: McFly's Harry Judd and Aliona Vilani heated things up with their samba to Stevie Wonder's I Wish

Distracting: Judd's revealing shirt and toned pecs caught the attention of the judging panel

And Revel-Horwood was also taken by Judd's open shirt: 'The shirt was a slight distraction... I did notice your bounce action was a little non-existent. You mastered everything else.'

Next to dance as former EastEnders actress Anita Dobson and Robin Windsor, doing the Charleston to George Gershwin's I've Got Rhythm.

All the judges agreed there were some timing issues, but she had captured the spirit of the Twenties dance, giving her a total score of 31.

Cheers! The pair ended their dance by pouring a Martini for the former Queen Vic landlady

Dixon said: 'It was light, cute ,fun, you captured the spirit of the dance. You're transforming into a dancer.'

Revel-Horwood added: 'You lost a bit of swivel and you were a little bit behind but you really brought the dance to life.'

Receiving some of his worst comments from the judges was singer Jason Donovan and his partner Kristina Rihanoff.

Boring? Jason Donovan and Kristina Rihanoff's Rumba to Killing Me Softly didn't go down well the judges

Lacking chemistry: The couple were criticised for not having enough of a connection

Their rumba to Killing Me Softly received 28, with Dixon admitting she was a 'little bored' watching.

She said: 'It felt contrived. You're doing all the steps and I wanted to feel that genuine romance and spark.'

Tonioli was also disappointed: 'I didn't feel anything tonight. It wasn't there. The whole thing didn't gel compared to your usual standards.'

Grey said: 'You killed me softly with the that rumba. I think you need to dig deeper and connect more to your sexy power. I wanna feel more lust.'

Have they got that swing? Alex Jones and James Jordan were next to perform with their quickstep to Duke Ellington's It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing).

Oops: Bruce Forsyth helps up Alex after she and James fall over at the end of their dance

The One Show's Alex Jones and James Jordan were next to perform with their quickstep to Duke Ellington's It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing).

They received a good score of 31, despite falling over at the end of the dance.

Revel-Horwood said: 'There were some small timing issues but that was your heel caught in the dress and I think you coped with that amazingly well. It was full of personality.'

Grey remarked: 'It was like a fine champagne it was bubbly, effervescent and made me feel giddy.'

Controlled and poised: Robbie Savage showed his serious side with Ola Jordan during their waltz

Looking a lot less confident this week was footballer Robbie Savage, who received a 29 for his waltz with Ola Jordan to Take That's Love Ain't Here Anymore.

Tonioli said: 'It was very controlled, very poised. Your most correct performance to date. You need to put a lot more sweep into the waltz.'

Revel-Horwood added: 'You had a fantastic rise and fall. But it was devoid of any emotion. You were tense and angry on the pivots.'

High camp: Russell Grant and Flavia Cacace performed the Paso Doble to Georges Bizet's Carmen

Astonishing: Grant was praised by Bruno for doing Benny Hill's version of the Paso

Ending up at the bottom of the leader board was astrologer Russell Grant and Flavia Cacace's paso doble to Carmen by George Bizet, which received 24.

However, Tonioli did praise him: 'Once you started it was a proper paso. It was Benny Hill's version of the pabo. Fermented and fabulous at the same time.'

Revel-Horwood was lost for words and could only manage 'astonishing'.

Finally some energy: Holly Valance and Artem Chigvintsev's Jive impressed the judges

Ending the show was Australian singer/actress Holly Valance and Artem Chigvintsev with a jive to Bruno Mars' Runaway Baby, which brought them in second place on the leaderboard with 34.

Dixon told Valance: 'You looked exhausted. It was full of energy. It was a cool and sophisticated give.'

Revel-Horwood said: 'I absolutely loved that concept. Finally Holly some energy from you.'
