Strictly's Kelvin and Oti get their first 40 as Craig Revel-Horwood gets his 10 out again

Shockwaves were sent through millions of Strictly Come Dancing viewers on Saturday night when Craig Revel-Hporwood was swayed to get his 10 paddle out again!

After finally dusting it off to give Karim & Amy a 10 last week, it only took until the second dance of the night for Craig to award a 10 in the semi-final.

After Kelvin & Oti had the studio audience and Craig's judging colleagues Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Bruno Tonioli on their feet, with their Quickstep to The Lady is A Tramp Craig told them he was disappointed because he "couldn't find much wrong with it."

Strictly host Tess Daly joked that his critique gave them hope and his score echoed that, as Craig and all the other judges gave a 10, leaving former Emmerdale actor Kelvin totally choked up.

It barely seems like a week has passed since this year's Strictly stars were introduced to their professional partners but now just four couples remain.

After a tense quarter final, which had added drama thanks to voting problems and Shirley being forced to use her casting vote , Alex & Neil danced their last dance in the BBC ballroom.

Just Chris & Karen, Kelvin & Oti, Karim & Amy and Emma & Anton remain in the contest and the battle for the Glitterball is on!
