The CBBC presenter and his dance partner wowed the judges on the BBC One Latin and ballroom show, earning an almost perfect score of 39.

Elsewhere, Mike Bushell and Katya Jones danced a Charleston to \'Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines\' by the Ron Goodwin Orchestra, which received 30 points.
Saffron Barker and AJ Pritchard found themselves in the bottom three with their Salsa to \'Instruction\' by Jax Jones featuring Demi Lovato and Stefflon Don.

Emma Barton and Anton du Beke\'s Rumba to \'Woman In Love\' by Barbra Streisand unfortunately failed to impress, with a score of just 22 from the judges.
