Fleur, who was dancing to a remix from Destiny's Child as she looked utterly sensational in matching silver sequined outfits, became emotional as she heard the score.

Fleur was joined by Vito Coppola as the pair secured the first perfect 40 from the judges while Motsi Mabuse said she needed to push her chair back so she could dance along to the performance.
