Kelvin Fletcher has thanked fans for their support after impressing the Strictly Come Dancing judges last night.
The former Emmerdale star, 35, and pro partner Oti Mabuse, 29, scored the first 10s of the series with their stellar performance of the Charleston, earning a huge 38 points out of 40 and securing them a place at the top of the leader board.
Taking to Instagram following the show, the actor shared a behind the scenes snap with Oti and wrote: “What. A. Night. Thank you sooooo much to everyone who voted for us. I’m blown away. (sic)”

Kelvin’s wife Eliza was also showing her support on social media as she watched the show from home.
“Mega fans! It’s all 10s from us!” she remarked.
However, not all Strictly fans were completely convinced they should have scored so highly.
One posted on Twitter last night: “I really like Kelvin – the man can dance – but that wasn’t perfect? Not sure about the 10s.”

A third said: “WOW, two 10s for week three for Kelvin, did not expect that.”
A fourth moaned: “Overmarked!!! Was a good routine but the lifts didn’t flow!!!!!
Another Strictly fan argued: “Kelvin‘s feet didn’t twist as much as they should and it definitely wasn’t a 10!”
