Strictly's Chris Ramsey does Ant & Dec proud with Let's Get Ready To Rhumble dance and wows judges

It was the performance that he dedicated to everyone in the North East and Chris Ramsey certainly did us and a certain Geordie duo proud with his performance on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night.

Earlier this week, South Shields comedian Chris revealed he and pro partner Karen would be performing their Couples Choice routine to PJ and Duncan's 90s guilty pleasure Let's Get Ready to Rhumble.

As you can see in the video from BBC Strictly, the clock was turned back to a time when Ant and Dec were fresh out of Byker Grove popstars and, just as Chris promised, the dance was full of 90s nostalgia.

The 33-year-old and Karen donned eye catching shell suits for their street and commercial style footwork, with Chris also wearing a bucket hat, made famous by 90s TV icons Kevin and Perry.

And the studio audience and Strictly judges loved it. Motsi Mabuse called it Chris' "best dance ever," while even the always hard to impress Craig Revel-Horwood called it "sick."

Their comments then led to some great scores too with 8, 9,9 and 8, giving them a total of 34, their best score so far by a mile and putting them joint second on the leaderboard.
