Dancing On Ice's Perri Kiely in tears as he receives first 10s of the series

Perri Kiely was in tears as he received the first tens of the series after his Harry Potter-inspired skate on Dancing On Ice tonight.

The Diversity star, 24, wowed the judges after flying in a harness for Movie Week before gliding across the ice like he was flying.

Adorned in a Hogwarts-style robe, he and partner Vanessa Bauer were left speechless after scoring a near-perfect 39.5 after receiving three tens and one 9.5.

Asked how he felt by hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield afterwards, a teary Perri said: "Im just happy that it was on a routine when I was doing Harry Potter because I love Harry Potter."

However the audience had not been happy that Christopher Dean had scored him a 9.5 and let him know it.

"It's the first time that a 9.5 has been booed," Ashley Banjo joked as he gave his feedback. "There were at times when it looked magical, you were flying.

He added: "It was Harry potter, it was perfect."

Meanwhile Chris insisted that a 9.5 was still a great score and that his skating "speaks for itself".

"I love the way that you flow over the ice," he said.

John Barrowman quipped: "The characterisation, the music - everything was a 10. It was fabulous!"

Jayne Torville agreed, saying: "It was a seamless performance and you stayed in character. and you were skating in a harness!"

*Dancing On Ice returns next Sunday at 6pm on ITV
