After a tough week last week, Dancing with the Stars’ Johnny Ward turned it around and landed a score of 27.
Last week fans hit back at the judges lover the actor’s low score. He took on a quick step with new partner Ksenia for switch-up week and earned 19 points - a score that fans thought was too low for his impressive moves.
Taking on the rumba to James Arthur’s Don’t Let Go this week, Ward was awarded three 9’s from the judging panel.

Judge Brian Redmond commended his “phenomenal” leg action while Lorraine Barry called the performance’s technical aspect “high class”.
