Emmerdale actor Lawrence Robb delivered a surprisingly strong salsa with professional partner Jowita Przystał on Strictly Come Dancing, performing to Ricky Martin's "La Copa de la Vida." The routine marked a notable improvement from last week's moody rumba, with a much more raw and energetic feel.
Neon outfits and sensational lifts
The couple wore neon outfits and performed knee slides, body ripples, and changes of Cuban rhythm. The routine featured many sensational lifts, marking Robb's first lifts with Przystał. Kisses blown at the camera and plenty of sauce added to a fun, flirty connection between the pair.
Robb admitted this week that he was no fan of Latino heart-throb Ricky Martin but was "learning to appreciate him." The performance suggests that appreciation has paid off, with the actor finally arriving on the dance floor and seemingly living "la vida Woolpack."
About the song
"La Copa de la Vida," translating as "The Cup of Life," was commissioned by FIFA as the anthem for the 1998 World Cup and topped the chart in 30 countries.
