Stacey Dooley nailed her Charleston on tonight's (December 8) Strictly Come Dancing, scoring a very impressive 39 of 40.

And there was one person in particular who looked thrilled with the result – her boyfriend Sam Tucknott.

In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, the camera cut to Sam clapping and cheering in the crowd after Stacey and partner Kevin Clifton finished their routine.

It was only a couple of days ago that Stacey appeared to subtly respond to tabloid reports about the state of her and Sam's relationship.

It had been claimed that Sam was “insanely jealous” of her partnership with professional dancer Kevin.

But it appeared the documentary maker was having none of the reports, posting an Instagram picture of herself and Sam on a plane together, the latter asleep on the former’s shoulder. She captioned the snap with a fist emoji.

Sam's support didn't go unnoticed by eagle-eyed viewers, with one tweeting: "I’m not sure who I love more, @StaceyDooley, or her boyfriend cheering her on every single week."

And her moves are proving just as popular. In fact, Stacey seems to be gaining more fans every week.

One Twitter message tonight read: "I had no idea who Stacey was when #Strictly started and now she’s my total fave! She’s a fab dancer and I bet she’s a brill best friend."

Another person wrote: "LOVE Stacey and Kevin."

Will Sam be back in the audience for next week's final?

We'll have to wait until tomorrow's results show to find out whether Stacey goes through.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One on Saturday and Sunday nights.
