We are talking about 10s here, if another celeb had got a 10 with an illegal lift, yes. If they only got a 8 or 9, who cares. I can't remember Daisy's dance, may be I didn't watch that week. What was her score?? Did she get 10s??”

Craig did it to Kara and Artem during one of their dances (I think it was either a VW or rhumba) - it was definitely an accidental one her foot was supposed to stay on the floor and he thought it came off accidentally. I remember it well because their fans were not happy with Craig over that - it came across as nit-picking so you're right what the judges pick up in does seem to be influenced as much by what mood they're in and how much they like the couple or want to big up them or someone else rather than what they actually do at times.
