Strictly Come Dancing fans were quick to hail one partnership the best in the show's HISTORY following tonight's show.
Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice have been winning viewers over every week during the time in the BBC One dance contest.
But Saturday night was a return to perfect form for the pair as they received their first 40 since the Halloween special in October.
During the semi-final, EastEnders actress Rose and Giovanni were the last couple to perform a first routine, dancing a waltz to How Long Will I Love You by Ellie Goulding.

Dancer turned judge Anton Du Beke became emotional as he gave them feedback and said: “You’re amazing”, while Craig Revel Horwood said it was “one of the most amazing waltzes I have seen”.
The performance earned them a score of 39 with Craig failing to give them a coveted 10.
But when they returned to close the semi-final they danced an Argentine tango to A Evaristo Carriego by Eduardo Rovira.
Following the intense performance, judge Motsi Mabuse said: "Oh my word, what a statement, for me personally that was the dance of the night, the dance of the month, the dance of the series… I fell in love with all the details, that’s it."
Craig added: "That dance belongs in the final," before the couple scored a perfect 40.
Speaking to host Claudia Winkleman before the scores were announced, Rose said the dance was "very out of my character" and was nothing "I’ve ever done before so I finally started to believe in myself".
Strictly fans then flocked to social media to have their say.
