Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin score top marks during Strictly's musical week

Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin have scored the top marks during Strictly's musical week with a perfect score of 40 points.

Tilly, the daughter of telly chef Gordon Ramsay and dance pro Nikita, chose Revolting Children from Matilda as their Couple's Choice dance.

And following their energetic performance they managed to get the most points possible - despite taking place in the dance-off in the previous two weeks.

Head judge Shirley Ballas paid Tilly a huge compliment when she said she struggled to tell who the professional was.

She said to Nikita: 'That's how good you was. No disrespect to you but she kept up with you every step of the way.'

Anton Du Beke said Tilly was a 'fighter' and an 'inspiration' and guest judge Cynthia, who is filling in for Craig Revel Horwood, who has Covid, said the dance was 'awesome' and packed with 'so much fight and energy'.

Motsi Mabuse said the duo were a 'forced to be reckoned with'.

Viewers were certainly conflicted over the score with some reckoning the duo didn't deserve such high marks.

One viewer said: "Claudia says #tillyramsay can’t believe her score. Neither can we, Claudia, neither can we."

Another added: "Seriously not a 40."

A third said: " I am sorry but that was not four tens! Should be in the bottom two!

Someone else suggested: "I thought she danced it really well, but found it a bit odd. I struggle to mark some couple’s choice numbers (same for Tom & Amy’s) but I’ll say again: Tilly was very good."

Others were happy for the pair with one saying: "Well done #tillyramsay What a superb dance #StrictlyComeDancing."

Strictly Come Dancing 2021 stars AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington pulled off another stunning routine on Saturday (BBC)

And another said: ""Thoroughly deserved, my fave of the night! Brilliant, @tillyramsay has really blossomed."

During Saturday's show AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington danced a romantic Waltz to the song Edelweiss from the film the Sound Of Music. and teased a kiss.
