Tilly Ramsay topped the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard with a beautiful Foxtrot as she bounced back following her recent run-in with Steve Allen over his fat-shaming comments about her.
The CBBC presenter, 19, and her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin left the judges and audience in awe with their defiant dance to Little Things by One Direction, with Tilly remarking that it had been a 'tough week' with her technique.
Tilly's performance comes after she recently hit out at LBC's Steve Allen, 67, for calling her a 'chubby little thing' during his radio show earlier this week.
Defiant: Tilly Ramsay topped the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard with a beautiful Foxtrot as she bounced back following her recent run-in with Steve Allen over his fat-shaming comments about her
The CBBC presenter took to Instagram on Wednesday to respond to radio presenter Steve fat-shaming her on his radio show.
In the post, Tilly revealed she was 'learning to accept' herself but had still been left 'hurt' by the shocking remarks.
Alongside the statement she shared a soundbite from Steve's show, in which he read out a comment from a listener alerting him to the fact Tilly was taking part in Celebrity MasterChef Australia.
Steve - who is on air between 4am and 7am - then remarked: 'Is she? Well, she can't blimming well dance!
'I'm bored of her already. She's a chubby little thing isn't she. Have you noticed? Probably her dad's cooking I should imagine.'

Shocking: Tilly said she was deeply hurt that Steve had felt the need to comment on her weight after watching her on Strictly
In response to the remarks, Tilly penned: 'I try not to read and listen to comments and negativity however recently being called out on a national radio station by a 67-year-old man is a step too far.
'Steve please feel free voice your opinions however I draw the line at commenting on my appearance. It's such a shame that someone is trying to make such a positive experience negative.'
Tilly continued:'This isn't the first and definitely wont' be the last comment made about my appearance and I accept that and I'm learning to accept myself.
'But please remember that words can hurt. And at the end of the day I am only 19 and I'm so grateful for all the amazing opportunities I have been able to take part in.
'And I understand that being in the public eye obviously comes with it's own repercussions and I've been aware of this from a young age.
'However, I won't tolerate people that think it's okay to publicly comment and scrutinise anyone's weight and appearance. Love Tilly xx'
She captioned the post '#bekind'.
