Kelvin and Oti Samba to ‘La Vida Es Un Carnaval’ | Week 1 - BBC Strictly 2019 

Oti's a great choreographer, I'm so glad she's got somebody good!

The amount of pressure to replace a contestant and completely dominate not only the first dance but the first week and Kelvin did it! Well done!

flashbacks to danny mac and oti💖

Have I just slept and woken up to the final?

And I thought Oti had peaked with Danny Mac as her partner! UNREAL!

Have I got the date right? Week 1?! Absolutely brilliant.

Give me a minute, I need to pop my eyes back into my head 😍🤣

also thank you for putting the judges’ scores on screen afterwards!!

Ive been refreshing my strictly 2019 search every few seconds especially for THIS PERFORMANCE!! WOW ! And only week 1. Most look so awkward when first attempting samba. Great bum too !!😅

Oti the queen of choreography is back. Absolute loved it, and it's only week one.

Biggest shock of the night for me..can dance and is extremely likeable

I think half the country has now got a crush on Kelvin 😋😋😋 Oti has struck gold!

I just wasn't expecting this at all! He was so meek in his interview, so softly spoken (especially for a northern lad), and he just came out with *_THAT?!_* I need a moment.

I don't know I was expecting from Kelvin but OH MY GOD HOW AMAZING

Jeez, he’s so good. These two are the most exciting couple of 2019 strictly

This just proves that nobody does a samba like Oti 😍😍😍

i was actually in shock when this happened. maybe it's bc we hadn't seen him dance in the launch and he was a complete unknown to me, but i just... stared, for the whole minute and a half. where do you get HIPS like that in week *one* omg. and his timing, his performance, his fun and energy omg. he's so good, i can't wait to see more, and GOD oti is a queen. to get this in two weeks, YES. i love i love i love

When I knew it was a Samba on week one my heart sank. But WOWOWOWOW! Oti is such a good choreographer!!

The pure joy and ‘go for it’ attitude he was displaying was the bar to be reached! 8 from me - his hips were mesmerising!

Everything Otlile touches, turns into diamond and gold! She deserves it!

So nice to see a Samba full of Samba content and without an unnecessary theme! 100% Dance- and just wow

*dad walks in* dad: “which ones the pro?”

YESSSSSS! Honestly Oti has been a favourite pro of mine from the start and when Danny and Oti were robbed of that trophy, honestly. I feel like this could be her year! She deserves it! And bloody hell, didn't think Kelvin would be this good I am suprised!

Wow!!! Kelvin is sensational on the dancefloor. Woohoo! Im glad he's in the show. Oti's struck gold with him.

MY SAMBA QUEEN!!!!!! AND KING..i guess! BRAVO, OTI!

Danny and Oti's samba is still my number one, but for the first dance, this is incredible!! So happy Oti got another good dance, shes my favourite out of all the professionals. Can't wait to see how it goes

Oti is a fantastic choreographer.

I literally can't even remember the sambas before Oti joined the show, and I've been watching since the first season. They used to call it 'the dance of death' on the show because everyone used to get voted off after doing it! She is incredible. PLEASE let this be her year as she was so ROBBED when she didn't win with Danny Mac (one of the best contestants of all time!)

Bloody amazing oti and kelvin !!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done xxx

Legend! Definitely deserved those 8s - you can tell Oti really pushed him with that hip action! Is this another Danny Mac in the making...? Go Kelvin!

Cant stop watching this. My god i hope he nails the other dances and gets the public behind his. Its about time oti won this show now she is an incredible dancer and she didn't get to win with danny mac so maybe its her time now. This was just amazing pleeeeeease queen this woman already lol and kevin well done it was just magic

I'm still loving every step of this routine, all these years later. Now that's what I call TV Magic!!

Oh. My. GOD! Week 1....man seems like it’s the final already!!! Wow Kelvin, what a phenomenal dancer you are already, Oti’s got it in the bag this year!! 10!!! Thumbs up if Kelvin’s your winner 🙌 | | | |

For a Samba in week 1 that was fire. Great hip action and energy. Samba rolls were fantastic and his footwork was amazing. So much rythym and his timing was great. One of the best early Samba's ever. The fact that he had less to prepare than everyone else made it even better. I'm sure Jamie was going to be good but Kelvin was extraordinary. His presision was wonderful and he was so much better than I expected. *9/10* so good Danny Mac vibes.

My jaw dropped, 2 weeks practice and does this? I'm excited for what's to come 👀😍

Time for Oti to win that glitter ball. GIRL IT'S YOUR YEAR!!

Oti Mabuse: Queen of the Samba! First perfect scoring Samba with Danny Mac, gets Graeme Swann to do a good Week 1 Samba and now Kelvin! She is amazing, I just hope people won't downplay her mad skills because her sister is a judge, she's gotten far without Motsi's help before!

Be right back! I will be watching this performance for a solid 3 days.

I love Oti’s choreography , I’m so pleased she’s got a partner that can do it justice. Kelvin was great !

Oti, the samba queen! You and Danny Mac were robbed a few years back but this could be the winning year. Fingers firmly crossed!!

I think Oti is the queen of the samba!! Kelvin absolutely smashed it though

WOW. This is the best male Samba I have ever seen in the history of FOREVER. His hips were amazing -- if I hadn't known he was a celebrity, I'd have sworn that Kelvin was one of the new pros!

Maybe this could be oti's year because this was amazing!!❤️ I haven’t enjoyed a week one dance like that since Danny and oti's cha cha

Oti is coming for her crown y’all!

Love the hip movements and how he moved his body like a Latin lover, this dance was very impressive!

Oti has a high reputation with the last samba with Danny mac and she killed it again..if this was in week 9 she'd probably get all 10's

i will never be over how this was WEEK ONE!! soooo amazing & well deserved scores!!

We had to watch this 7 times to believe it. Amazing job!!

I had a feeling Kelvin Fletcher was going to be good but this was something else my jaw hit the ground with their first dance, absolutely brilliant, the guy can certainly moooooove my goodness, definitely the one to watch this year so far and so looking forward to seeing what they do with other dances, Oti you have a contender for the glitter ball this year.......

I like the "kick" to get Oti back on her feet, so professional !!

I need a blooming drink after this wow!

Best week one dance ever!! And a samba! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love how enthusiastic he is! Amazing for week one!

OMG. Completely speechless, The Samba by Kelvin and Oti was absolutely amazing. Kelvin and Oti should be the favourites to win.😀🕺👍🌟

Definitely the dance of the night for me. Wow! Kelvin has awesome potential and I can’t wait to see what Oti and him do next. Great dance and he seems a genuinely nice chap. Hope he goes far!

Kelvin's "Wahey!!" at the end is so pure.

cant express how much i loved this dance

Woohoo! Is it Oti's year this year? That boy can move!

Here after the final. Great to see this dance again and for them to WIN. So happy and well deserved.

I’ve got Kelvin and Oti in the strictly sweepstake at work. Buzzing after this performance

I was shocked at this. This guy has potential... REAL potential. Can’t wait to see what Oti does with him.

I mean this was such a surprise. So much potential!!! 👌👌

Oti, is the best dancer.on this show ❤️❤️❤️

Best dance of week 1, ever!! Gives me tingles, just like Danny Mac did 👌🏻🥰😍🥰

This is the best week 1 dance I have ever seen on strictly! Outstanding!

This is one of the best dances every on strictly ... people forget this guy done this ... after 2 weeks ... the rest of the couples had at least 7 weeks ... and he still top the leader board ... well done oti

This was the best week 1 dance in strictly omg the judges literally looked entranced

Hope Jamie recovers quickly but I'm secretly pleased he had to pull out as I had him in the office sweep stake (so now have Kelvin) ! Sure he would have been brilliant but Kelvin is incredible! Hoping for him to win so I can win my tenner!

I’ve been waiting for this alllll 2 weeks and my GOD IT WAS WORTH IT!

I always forget to look at Oti's dance partner, she is unreal

I couldn't put my finger on what this reminds me of for ages until now... Ben stiller dancing in along came polly!

Congratulations to Kelvin and Oti on winning strictly come dancing 2019. Love you Both. This dance I will love forever. Keeeep Dancing.

I couldn't believe this! When they said he was dancing the Samba I was like, jeez, it's only week 1, give him an easier dance and then he came out and did that! Shirley was right, it's like he was several weeks in already!

this was MADNESS! WEEK ONE HOW

The fact that they had less time than everyone else and for them to come out with a dance like this, incredible

cant stop watching this it was so so good...well done to them both!!! cant wait for next week

This gives me a flashback to Danny and Otis samba but dare I say was maybe better as this was only week one. SERIOUSLY! He was absolutely amazing! I didn’t know a week one dance could be this good. Good hip Acton. Amazing choreography and content. This was just amazing!! I’m speechless 8

I’m going to break the replay button

Im so glad that Kelvin is in the show. He is a great dancer and Oti is such a brilliant choreographer. Kelvin and Oti for the win!

I'm still absolutely SHOOK!!! I just... OMG! The Samba Queen strikes again and Kelvin! Sir!! You. Did. That! I need them in the finale, folks. I need to see this reprised as Judges' Choice, with a few more weeks of experience under Kelvin's belt. I'll probably faint, but who cares. #TeamFlotiIsOnFire

Think this is probably the best week 1 dance in the history of the show

Such inspiring and adventurous choreography from Oti and Kelvin danced this samba superbly. He described her teaching as intense but the results are great to watch. Well done Oti and Kelvin.

I keep rewatching this and I'm repeatedly blown away. Can't take my eyes off either of them. Would love Oti to win Strictly.

Am I the only one that is secretly glad Kelvin is partnering Oti? Bless Jamie, not sure he would have made the same impact!! Jamie’s face sorta suggested the same thing🥴

Did I just watched this 167 times in a row? Yes. Will I watch this again? Absolutely.

I have watched this so many times... 😍😍😍😍 JESUS that man can move for a guy who never danced before! One of my all time fave dances on strictly ever!

Wow Oti again gets traditional music

This is the couple to watch. That was just amazing. Oti is back, back, back! 😁

Wow, was not expecting that -- Kelvin is soooo good! He may have scored 8 from all the judges for that Samba, but his bum gets a perfect 10 from me!

This is what you call dancing getting on with it fantastic bring this sort of dancing back will be alright love it every bit of it and the both good dancers I wish I could go back in time watch this from the beginning you know you can see it on here love it great fantastic dancing is what you call dancing dance to get a get on with it not faffing about to get on with it love it

When Oti choreographs a samba, it’s going to be good. This is just...wow🙌🏻

I think I will be watching this clip many times over the next week.like most I wasnt expecting that from kelvin he was brilliant.well done to the both of them 👍👏😉

And from that moment, we all knew we’d found our winner. Karim is fantastic, but Kelvin is something else. Those hips!!

I reckon this will be either their favourite or judges favourite to dance again in the final....if they make it!! Cannot wait to see this again when he’s had a few months experience to fine tune it, amazing for week 1

this man has never danced a day in his life and he dances like this??? wow.

Amazing performance. I didn't even notice Oti, I couldn't keep my eyes off Kelvin because he performed amazingly! It's choreography was ace. Keep it up guys I love it!

The shock when I watched this for the first time and now I just can’t stop watching it...just WOW! 😮

I literally shrieked when I saw this - I loved Kelvin as Andy on Emmerdale and this was freakin' awesome! 😍

I did NOT expect him to move like that

She is a fantastic dancer!
