The 'Emmerdale' star and his professional dancing partner scored the first 10s of the series with their impressive dance to 'Mary Poppins Returns' in movie's week.

Kelvin scored a huge 38 points out of 40, securing two 10s from Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli.

Craig Revel Horwood said it was "fab-u-lous", whilst Shirley added: "You made a difficult routine look easy to the eye. Superb."

Bruno told the duo: "Everyone's talking about Kelvin. That was as good as anything I've seen on the West End stage or Broadway."

It was a good night for Dev Griffin and Dianne Buswell, who came in second place with an amazing 36 points after scoring four nines with the first couple's choice of the series, a street commercial dance to 'Friend Like Me' from the new 'Aladdin' movie.

Dressed as the genie, Dev impressed all four judges, with Motsi Mabuse telling them: "That was so epic. This is one of those dances we will remember forever. I see your hard work. That was out of this world," whilst Shirley added: "You are amazingly exceptional. You are stunning in every way. We loved it. Congratulations."

Elsewhere, Michelle Visage and Giovanni Pernice opened the show with a quickstep from 'Cabaret', raking in 35 out of 40.

Shirley told the dancing duo: "I think it was magnifique. I think you smashed it on every level. Your character was off the chart. It was absolutely brilliant," whilst Bruno praised it as "divine decadence".

It wasn't such a good night for Anneka Rice and Kevin Clifton, who ended up bottom of the leaderboard with just 11 points for their 'Kill Bill' themed Charleston.

'Strictly Come Dancing' continues on Sunday (06.10.19).
