Strictly's Anton du Beke breaks down during confession about 'incredible' Emma

Anton du Beke burst into tears on Strictly this evening over his "beautiful" partner Emma Barton.

The professional dancer became emotional as he said that it was the first time in his 15-year career on the show that he was able to choreograph such an amazing Ballroom dance.

This evening, Anton and Emma performed two dances - a Cha Cha and a Waltz, but it was their second performance that left him feeling emotional.

The pair received a ten and Anton was asked why they should go through to next week's final.

Anton told Claudia: "I'll tell you why - if people have loved watching Emma dance as much as I've loved dancing with Emma, then I really hope that they vote for her.

"This is somebody who had no confidence in her dancing ability, didn't think she could dance a step, to make it into the semi-finals as well.

"And to produce a dance - I'm getting emotional - to produce a dance like that that I've been wanting to do for about 15 years on Strictly Come Dancing , is the most beautiful thing.

"And you're the most incredible person."

Anton turned to Emma and kissed her cheek and fans were in tears themselves over Anton's speech.

One tweeted: "Anton crying is all of us crying #Strictly."

While another commented: "Anton my heart I so hope they get through to the final! #Strictly."

A third remarked: "That speech from Anton was so sweet! Emma truly is the dream partner he’s been waiting for #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing."
