Chris Ramsey gets Dec's seal of approval for Strictly dance to Let's Get Ready to Rhumble

The Strictly Come Dancing judges scores were amazing enough but Chris Ramsey has had the ultimate seal of approval for his routine to Let's Get Ready to Rhumble.

Chris and professional partner Karen Hauer got their highest score to date by some margin for their Couples Choice dance to the PJ & Duncan classic , with their total of 34 putting them joint second on the leaderboard.

As you can see in the video from BBC Strictly, it was massively entertaining!

Motsi Mabuse called it Chris' "best dance ever," while even the always hard to impress Craig Revel-Horwood called it "sick."

Chris' very proud wife Rosie was crying happy tears in the audience as he got a fantastic reaction and then came perhaps the highlight of the night, a tweet from none other than Dec Donnelly!

Passing on his congratulation, Dec reacted "Well I never thought I’d hear #LetsGetReadyToRhumble on #Strictly ! Oh @IAmChrisRamsey , you nailed it man! What a belter!"

And the tweet prompted a bit of a North East love-in as Chris was quick to respond, replying "YES DEC! Thanks so much mate!"

Let's Get Ready to Rhumble soared to number 1 in 2013, 19 years after its original release, following Ant & Dec's performance of it on Saturday Night Takeaway.

Could Chris' Strictly routine have a similar effect? We hope so!
