The highly inaccurate guide to Strictly 2021, Week 3: Results

Group dance
Strictly's now moved across the pond, to show us what happens in the wee hours at the 24-hour deli before moving to early morning at the beach.

You Will Be Found by Ben Platt
Remember to keep your backing singers hidden in the forest so they don't spook the dancers 😅

Dance-off
Judi seemed to make some more mistakes than in her original dance, but managed to recover from them. I don't know which way to call this one.

Bonus quote!
Claudia, to the judges: "Don't have a row!"
