STRICTLY star Zoe Lucker has breezed through to the fourth week of the show.

All 14 Strictly Come Dancing celebrities took to the dancefloor this week to perform either a Paso Doble or a Quick-step.

The Lindley-born Footballers’ Wives actress received glowing praise from judges as she and partner James Jordan got 31 of out 40 for their Paso Doble – the second highest score for the second week.

Head judge Len Goodman gave Zoe an eight out of 10.

Bruno Tonioli also gave an eight, Mr Nasty, Craig Revel Horwood, gave a seven and Alesha Dixon also gave the couple an eight.

Strictly was at the centre of a race row after it was claimed that actress Laila Rouass was called a “Paki” by her professional partner Anton Du Beke a fortnight ago after the former Footballers’ Wives star had a spray tan.

Last night he denied he was a racist and apologised for any offence. Rouass, who has an Indian mother and Moroccan father, has accepted his apology.
