Strictly’s Pasha Kovalev made a cheeky mini comeback to dance the paso doble and it was just too much for viewers to handle.
After being eliminated earlier in the competition with his partner, news presenter Naga Munchetty, he joined Zoe Ball on the coach for the programme’s spin-off chat show, It Takes Two, on BBC Two on Wednesday.
As news got round that he had donned a matador jacket and swept Zoe into the steamy dance, even people who weren’t watching rushed to tune in…
Just heard Pasha was on #ItTakesTwo - must immediately catch up

.@MarianKeyes: Are you watching #ItTakesTwo? Pasha is explaining the Pasha Doble. You may need smelling salts.

Pasha, 36, told Zoe he adored the traditional dance – which actually originated in France, apparently – because, “You always have to be in character and that’s what I love about dancing”.
“The perfect paso doble is all about strength, it’s all about character, and it’s all about the partner in front of you.”
With that, he popped Zoe into a flouncy skirt and a fan, whipped on his be-glittered jacket, and showed her his best moves.
For some, it was just too much…
Seeing Pasha doing his Paso cape work is possibly one of the most attractive things I've ever seen. 😂😍 #ItTakesTwo xx

A glimpse of his dance skills got an appreciation of it’s own – possibly even inventing a whole new brand of Pasha Paso…
It has to be said, @PashaKovalev knows how to twirl a cape! #ItTakesTwo #Strictly
