Strictly Come Dancing fans expressed their joy at Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell’s latest routine, which saw the duo score their first 10s.

Saturday’s (November 16) live show saw the remaining eight couples take to the iconic Tower Ballroom floor in Blackpool to perform their latest number, with the aim being to impress both the audience and four judges.

Opening up the show were Chris and Dianne with their American Smooth to Paul Anka’s ‘Jump’, a routine which drew praise from both Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke in particular as they awarded the duo their first 10s of the series.

The performance also generated acclaim from fans of the show as they took to social media, with one writing on X/Twitter: "Chris McCausland & Dianne Buswell you are a couple legends. Best Dance at Blackpool ever #Strictly."

"It will always blow mind how Chris McCausland who doesn’t have any point of reference can dance with so much confidence and not miss a step! Props to Dianne Buswell in choreographing a flawless American Smooth to kick off Blackpool week," added another fan.

"Dianne's reaction when her and chris got their first tens from the judges made me emotional," wrote a third fan. "Couldn't think of a better couple as they have worked so hard in the competition and you can tell that each week when they dance together... my #strictly winners."

"Nobody in Strictly history deserves a TEN as much as Dianne Buswell this season. What she’s achieved with Chris McCausland is EXTRAORDINARY," wrote a fourth fan.

"My God Chris!! Forever in our hearts. What a joy to watch. Dancing like a king!" wrote a fifth fan, with a sixth remarking: "Just when you think Dianne Buswell and Chris McCausland couldn't get any better they dance like that. Astonishing. Winner, winner, chicken dinner."

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
