Strictly Come Dancing fans were left stunned after Craig Revel Horwood finally awarded his first 10 of the series.
The glitzy BBC One programme returned to TV screens on Saturday (December 2). Along with the rest of the judging panel, Craig was there to share his thoughts on the remaining celebs for this week’s Musicals themed special.
But so far in the competition, he had yet to award a 10 to one of the famous faces strutting their stuff on the dance floor – much to the viewer’s annoyance. But on Saturday night (December 2) that all changed.
