BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Craig Revel Horwood takes aim at Anton Du Beke's judging

Craig Revel Horwood had the Blackpool Tower bouncing on Saturday night when he gave his first 10 of the series on Strictly Come Dancing. Fans had already speculated that the hard-to-please judge would dust off is top scoring padel as he has waited until the special episode in previous years.

And it was Fleur East and her dance partner Vito Coppola who were given the honour of Craig's top score which was echoed by his fellow judges - Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke. Singer and radio DJ Fleur performed her couple's choice dance with Vito Coppola to a megamix of songs by 90s US girl group Destiny's Child to land the top mark of the series.

Dressed in a silver, sequined outfit, the singer and radio DJ delivered an energetic routine with slick movements reminiscent of the band's former members – Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
