Did Jay McGuinness drop his dancing partner on her HEAD?!

While Jay McGuinness put on a stunning performance on Strictly Come Dancing last night, he did manage to make quite a big blunder in the middle of it. 

The former bandband member scored a respectably 37, despite DROPPING his dancing partner, Aliona Vilani on her head.

However, she didn't seem to mind, since their Doctor Who-Charleston number went down a storm. And the judges might as well have turned a blind eye too.

Craig told the dancing duo afterwards, "Jay, that was brilliant [but] I didn't know whether you meant to drop Aliona, or [whether it was] a style choice."

And Darcey agreed, saying, "It was energetic, it was alive, it was full of style. That was odd at the end but you recovered well."

Jay and Aliona performed the routine to the track Doctor Jazz from musical Jelly’s Last Jam, but good scores from the judges wasn't the only surprise that Jay got. 

Two of his former The Wanted bandmates – Max George and Tom Parker – sat in the audience and cheered him on all the way. #Bromance.
