Tonight’s edition of Strictly saw Lawrence and Jowita perform a jive to Fatboy Slim’s The Rockefeller Skank.
However, the judges didn’t appear to be fans of the routine, giving the couple a very low score of 19.
They criticised the soap star for making some mistakes during the routine.
“I would have liked to have seen a much better jive,” Craig Revel Horwood said, branding it “flat-footed” and saying the star was “completely out of time” at the beginning.
“It wasn’t your best dance,” he then added.
Motsi Mabuse, meanwhile, praised Lawrence for recovering well, despite making some mistakes.

Anton said he’d liked everything “from the ankles up”.
“I’ve had a lot of that over the years, where my partner and I have decided to do a routine that we hadn’t agreed on,” he also said.
Shirley said the routine had “too many mistakes”.
When it came to scoring, the judges gave them 19 points.
Craig gave a score of 4, Motsi gave a 5, Shirley gave a 4, and Anton gave a 6.
It was a marked difference from last weekend’s performance, which saw them score 30. Fans branded Jowita “superwoman” thanks to the spectacular lifts in the routine.
