Tearful Rhys Stephenson received a perfect score for his routine with partner Nancy Xu, with judge Motsi Mabuse declaring it the 'best Charleston we have seen', during Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing.
The presenter, 28, and his professional partner, 30, performed the faultless routine to The Charleston by Bob Wilson and his Varsity Rhythm Boys.
Judges Anton Du Beke, 55, Craig Revel Horwood, 56, Motsi Mabuse, 40 and Shirley Ballas, 61, gave the performance glowing reviews before awarding him straight tens.

Motsi dubbed it the 'best Charleston we have seen', while Shirley gushed: 'I have never ever seen a Charleston like that!'
Anton praised: 'You absolutely smashed the place up, unbelievable!' and Craig brought out his trademark three syllable 'a-ma-zing.'
Meanwhile presenter AJ Odudu, 33 and Kai Widdrington danced the Pasodoble to Game Of Survival by Ruelle, a performance which didn't wow the judges to the same extent as the previous week, where their Charleston topped the leaderboard with 39.

Hard-to-impress Craig said: 'You needed a stronger Spanish line. I was a little bit disappointed. I felt like you were less connected to one another.'
Providing some words of encouragement among the criticism was Motsi: 'It was not a good dance for you, I felt the nerves today. I also know you're a fighter.'
They scored 11 lower than the previous week, with 28.
