Lauren brings out the best in Krishnan and you can just see the joy on his face. Shes a great addition to the professionals

[gerardsloan]

Once again, the wildcard. He is consistent and gets better. He might not be the most technical or gifted, but he is consistent and fun to watch, that's what this comes down to. Fun. It was a crowd pleaser, he looked like he was enjoying himself and he clearly has a good coach. He is one of the ones I look forward to watching every week. Have a good day reader

[lisaludden]

I agree you cannot help but smile with Krishnan and his and Lauren's dances are a total joy to watch

[babybobs]

Love Krishnan, so likeable and so good! He’s really improving and that dance was amazing!!

[bessieburnet]

That's made me smile!!! His best Ballroom! Craig was so harsh today, this was good!

[JONAS-cout]

What to say - woah! They make me smile with joy every time they hit the dance floor! So entertaining - and K is getting more and more confident week by week!

Score - *8/10*
I must admit, after his Foxtrot I had very low expectations for this and I was so suprised with how good this went. Krishnan's footwork is unrecognisable to last time, Charleston and hopscotch section were both brilliant and I loved the ending, he really got the night going. It was so much fun and pure class, I loved all the chasses and the locksteps were strong, frame and topline has improved so much even if it's far from perfect, I think this is the first time he threw his nerves out the window and it made for a great dance, it was a proper Quickstep with speed, lightness and elegance. I love this partnership, I always look forward to seeing Krishnan improve every week and he really is the true meaning of strictly.

[Shmiguelly]

Of all the contestants, he makes me the happiest.

[amywonderland]

I'm so proud of Krishnan! He's come so far since week 1!

[PreppiesXX]

Bless him, I adore his smile it’s so infectious! Quite good all in all! Craig was quite harsh though, I felt he was slightly undermarked. I’m honestly proud of him, he improves so much. He just needs to work on his frame a slight touch. It’s a tiny bit sloppy. As always brilliant though! 😊

[kristinejarvis]

That was amazing, dance of the nite! Look how proud Lauren is, and look how happy he is!! Stunning!❤❤

[Snoopy_]

I just love these 2...they're both adorable. Great dance.

My Score: 7
Krishnan really is growing. Some great charisma here. The frame slipped a little and it was a rather “slow” quickstep in parts. But he is going from strength to strength and it’s great to see his progress

[RedPhone-mzlv]

Didn't think I would like him but always like what he does great to watch

This was great, my favourite from him so far, he improves every week and is definitely the underdog, frame does need a little work and the counting could be less obvious but it was good 7/10

[paulacronin]

Love him, I enjoyed his performance the most, hope he stays the course.

[danjon]

Oh now this is an odd one as I did see the frame as a little issue but this is a dancer who keeps coming back stronger than ever whenever we see him perform. It's clear that Lauren does not make it easy and the thing is Krishnan is doing an amazing job. Absolutely splendid to watch and I hope he stays in the competition to develop as he really deserves to.

Lauren is became in my favorite female pro dancer since Oti, she brings the best of his partner 👏

Krishnan and Lauren Next dancing the Quickstep.

what a great improvement Krishnan has had, yes he needs to count in his head, still a little awkward at times and free arm needs some attention but his frame much better and I think much better overall and I love how Krishnan and Lauren just go out there and enjoy the dance and the technical's of the dance comes second, I am sure with time the technical's of each dance will become second nature to Krishnan but he is doing it the right way, go out there have fun and hopefully do the dance well which tonight he achieved all three.
