I'm so happy the judges gave the comment to her like that, she's been down actually quite a few weeks and that, I'm just really happy" to which a touched Angela wiped his tears away.

The duo then received their 38 points score to which Carlos broke down in tears again with Claudia, 51, insisting: "No, I don't want you to cry!" with Carlos admitting: "I'm not, I'm tears of happiness!"
