I'm so happy for Amy, she deserves an amazing partner 💕

[blonde]

and again thank up for writing the judges’ scores - it makes it so much easier when watching these back

[brooklyncherry]

I honestly couldn’t tell who was the professional, OMG he has rhythm!!!!

[aliignatius]

Definite Ashton merrygold vibes here and I hope they go the distance! AMAZING! 👏

[Ellie-qlpr]

He has a natural ability!!! He’s gonna go far!!

[ellamarie]

This was incredible!! Karim had the right hip action for cha cha and you can tell he genuinely enjoyed that dance! It was outstandingly choreographed by Amy. I am looking forward to seeing where this partnership leads, very exciting times ahead 💗

[DanniWilde]

His reaction at the end 😭😭.... this was amazing!! All The pairings this year are some of the best I’ve seen in awhile not just one or two pairings but everyone seems to have a chemistry/connection. 🔥🔥

[georgiathompson]

That was absolutely amazing for week 1

[eleanor]

You can definitely tell he went to stage school because he's spotting his turns

[hanamahmoud]

I’m shocked he’s only 19, feels like he’s been on cbbc for ages

[laurenthomas]

This is a dance I could watch over and over again! He was incredible, they are definitely going to go far ❤️❤️

[darthvader]

Karim and Kelvin's performances were my favourite 2 performances.

[katieanderson]

Fave dance of the night for me. Timing, musicality, great presentation. So much potential. Happy Amy has a real contender this year.

[pennyandfishy]

I think the next Ashley Roberts, Danny Mac is here. So slick and feirce. Extremely clean spins. His hands are so graceful, his spins are magnificent and his hip action is like a pros. His new yorker was extraordinary. His footwork and timing was fabulous. There is obviously so much chemistry between these two. Amy has got a ringer. His leaps are wonderful and his timing is wonderful. So much rhythm and he is a natural dancer 100%. *9/10*

[varisol]

They were so good. I am glad Amy has a partner who has potential, and she can work with that and we can see more of what she can produce, Karim seems lovely and i think as Bruno said his body moves with the music and flows well... and i think with the learning/bettering the precision and practice, he will get better more.
I like the leg twist thing, and the ending on the car, him touching and pulling her face towards him and the hug awww

[irenetaylor]

This is what Amy deserves i'm soooo happy. What a sweet, fun guy. GO KARIM!!

[sweethomelondonwheretheski]

So proud of you my lovely nephew, hope you will win it..Thank you Amy for pushing him towards that Gold medal..you deserve it Guys..Love uncle

[bethanaddisonevans]

These two are my winners so far! Karim is naturally talented, Amy is a brilliant teacher, and they seem to get along so so well!❤️

[MK-eysu]

This has made Karim so much more good looking than he already is 🤤

[germanchocolatechip]

Loved it. Everthing he did on that floor was dancing. Even when he was walking back to the car at the end.
