Faye Tozer and her professional partner Giovanni Pernice top the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ leaderboard following tonight’s (01.12.18) performances.
The 43-year-old pop singer and Giovanni, 28, wowed the ‘Strictly’ judges with their Charleston, earning the second perfect score of the series.
Bruno Tonioli hailed their performance, describing the routine as a "masterpiece".
Fellow judge Darcey Bussell was similarly impressed.
She said: "A move to every beat, never lost focus or character, stunning perfection."
Shirley Ballas added: "You’re a pure diamond, not a flaw."
Meanwhile, Stacey Dooley – who is partnered with Kevin Clifton – and Ashley Roberts – who is dancing with Pasha Kovalev – also impressed the judges, both achieving an overall score of 38.
Following her performance, Bruno told Ashley – who is considered to be among the favourites for this year’s ‘Strictly’ crown – that her routine was a "smash hit".
He added: "You mastered it, breathtaking sequence at the end."
At the other end of the ‘Strictly’ leaderboard are Lauren Steadman and her partner AJ Pritchard, as well as Charles Venn and his partner Karen Clifton.
Despite failing to wow the judges on the night, they both still achieved a respectable score of 35.
Bruno hailed Charles’ rumba, telling him: "You created a tangible atmosphere, made it tender and touching – a triumph."
And Craig Revel Horwood was similarly enthusiastic about Charles’ routine, despite his relatively modest score.
He said: "Make your free arm, more expressive, feet bolted to the floor – but the most masculine rumba I’ve every seen and the best male rumba we’ve ever had."
