HRVY dressed as gnome for Cha Cha in Strictly Come Dancing movie week

HRVY didn't quite impress the judges as much as previous weeks with his Cha Cha but still came away with 21 points.

Performing with Janette Manrara, the pair were dressed as gnomes for movie week.

They danced to Don't Go Breaking My Heart from Gnomeo and Juliet and recieved some criticism for lack of content.

Craig Revel Horwood scored him 6 and said: "I would have like to have seen one basic cha cha cha, there wasn't one in there for me.

"It looked a little awkward on you. The story - I loved and would love to have two gnomes in my garden that look like you."

Shirley loved the concept and was sure everyone at home would enjoy but also said there was not enough content.

Described as a quick routine by Motsi, she gave him the highest score with 8 points.

They finished the evening in 8th position.

James Jordan, former Strictly pro who was born and still lives in Kent, agreed with the judges comments.

The scores from the first two weeks gave him a total of 49 out of 60 and was joint top of the leaderboard with EastEnders star Maisie Smith and her partner Gorka Márquez.

He will find out whether he makes it to week four on Sunday evening.

HRVY, whose real name is Harvey Cantwell, grew up in Hartley and often returns to visit his parents. He went to the Leigh Academy in Dartford.

Previously HRVY told KentOnline nerves nearly got the better of him on the night and he even asked the show's producers if he could perform anywhere but last on the billing.
