BBC Strictly's Anton Du Beke says 'ridiculous situation' as he admits he's judging one star differently
Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke said he was in a 'ridiculous situation' as he admitted he was judging one star differently from the others. Former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and her celebrity partner Aljaz Skorjanec received the first perfect 40 score of the competition last week, and impressed again with their routine for musicals week.
They took to the floor with a powerful Argentine tango to Ex-Wives from the musical Six on Saturday evening, and received a score of 38 points, including 10s from Anton and Motsi Mabuse.
Anton confessed he was trying to judge Tasha 'down not up' because of her incredible talent. He said: "I thought it was outstanding.

"I watch you and in my mind I go 'this is probably a 10'...so I'm looking to see where I can knock a mark off.
"I'm trying to judge you down not up, which is a ridiculous situation but it's where you are. I'm nitpicking and I couldnt even do that with you tonight."
Craig Revel Horwood interjected: "However I can darling...I felt it was a little bit stiff of leg...I thought it was ballet rather than Argentine tango in that way."
He added: "But it was sharp and you looked a million dollars out there."
Aljaz was left supporting his Strictly Come Dancing partner after a malfunction during the middle of their routine. As they left the dance floor, Aljaz told host Tess Daly: "Her implant came out for a couple of seconds."
"Ooh and you got it back in?" a concerned Tess asked. "I got it back in yeah," a flustered-looking Tasha told her.
"Well we would have never known, it went so smoothly," Tess reassured the star.
