Motsi Mabuse fought back tears after Fleur East’s performance on Strictly Come Dancing, which left all the judges gushing over her.
The former X Factor star and pro partner Vito Coppola brought the energy with their samba to Hot, Hot, Hot.
And they left the audience and judges pretty flustered to as they rushed to the top of the leader-board with their highest score yet: a near perfect 39.
After the incredible dance, Fleur and Vito were awarded a standing ovation by Motsi as well as Shirley Ballas.
Craig Revel-Horwood began the judges’ comments with: ‘If that dance doesn’t get you to Blackpool I don’t know what will.’
Motsi couldn’t hold back her tears as she gushed: ‘I am so proud of you right now! I am so so proud of you!’

She added: ‘You did your work, you did your everything, and you put everything on that dance floor and that samba deserves absolutely everything!’
Anton Du Beke jokingly added: ‘I remember dancing the samba with Anne Widdicombe, it never looked like that. That was so brilliant, I haven’t got the words.’
Meanwhile, Shirley called it ‘one of the best sambas’, before Fleur and Vito were screaming with joy at their incredible score.
