Strictly Come Dancing 2022 has its first 40 score of the series.
Step forward Fleur East and her professional partner Vito Coppola, who smashed their Couples Choice routine out of the park for the Blackpool Tower Ballroom crowd.
It's been one hell of a build-up to this moment, with each judge apart from Craig Revel Horwood awarding 10's across the competition, and tonight (November 19), Fleur finally delivered a performance worthy of maximum.

"One word, three syllables, beginning with 'f'... Fab-u-lous!" Craig declared when co-host Tess Daly asked for his feedback.
After spending almost the entirety of Fleur's dance on her feet, fellow panelist Motsi Mabuse joked how Destiny's Child should enrol Fleur into their band.
"It was an iconic routine that will go down in history, but you know, one of the biggest things I loved most of all was when you trusted the off-balance," pointed out head judge Shirley Ballas.
"That's so difficult! I don't think we've ever seen that before on Strictly - you were absolutely phenomenal!"

Rounding off the Strictly analysis, Anton Du Beke came back with: "Well, I feel like we've been waiting for this number from you for the whole series.
"What I'm so impressed about is I don't think you'll have been able to pull this off before, you've got such control now you've been able to channel it.
"That was as good, well... as we've done, ever. Brilliant!"
