Strictly Come Dancing's Harry Aikines-Aryeetey reveals unique trick in 'difficult' admission

Strictly Come Dancing's Harry Aikines-Aryeetey admitted that he has an unusual trick up his sleeve when it comes to looking serious for his performances. On Saturday (October 25), it was Icons Week in the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom, where the remaining celebrities transformed into various stars. As for Gladiator Harry, he transformed into icon Usher as he performed an Argentine Tango with Karen to the R&B star's track, Caught Up. Harry received a mishmash of scores from the judges, with a total of 30 points. Craig Revel Horwood and Shirley Ballas criticising the routine, while Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke both liked what they saw. For next Saturday (November 1), Harry will have to leave Usher in the past as it's Halloween week on the dancefloor. He'll be performing the American Smooth to Mystical Magical by Benson Boone, with hopes that he'll make it through to another week of Strictly fun. Appearing on Friday's (October 31) installment of Strictly: It Takes Two, Harry and Karen Hauer opened up about their routine to Fleur East. Reflecting on having Oti and Motsi Mabuse's support, Harry shared: "Genuinely, they're legends. It's always nice to feel that people are sort of enjoying what you're doing, but most importantly at the end of the day, the room was electric. "The vibe was so right, and the fact that they can vouch for us, I'm glad that someone's actually saying that." Karen responded to the judges feedback, as she said: "I thought we had fun, we had a really beautiful balance, but you know what? Listen, the judges have a really hard job on their hands, so sometimes they're gonna like it. "Sometimes they're not. I just wish they liked it!" The American Smooth will be a change of pace to the last two weeks for Harry, who admitted that it will be nice to smile again before revealing his unique trick to stay serious. He said: "I'm smiling now just because I know I can smile. Life is about smiling for me, and every day's a gift, so if there's a day that I can't smile... "I have to pretend that Karen's forehead is a dessert that I really want to eat and smoulder at it. That's been really difficult to do, for the last two weeks, I've been looking at your forehead like a dessert!" Both Karen and Fleur laughed as the latter added: "Listen, whatever works!"
