Strictly's Tasha Ghouri gets first 10s of the season for "perfect" Charleston
Tasha didn't just get the first 10 of the season - she got the first three 10s!
It's only been four weeks, but already one of the contestants on this year's season of Strictly Come Dancing has scored a 10 - well, not just one, but three.
Tasha Ghouri, who was last to perform on this week's show, along with her partner Aljaž Škorjanec, blew the judges away with her Charleston to Unhealthy by Anne-Marie and Shania Twain.
While Shirley Ballas said she couldn't fault it, Anton Du Beke called the routine "practically perfect", and Motsi Mabuse called it "fab-u-lous!"
Craig noted that Tasha's left foot missed two swivels, and gave the couple a nine accordingly - but the other three all awarded their first 10s of the season.
In announcing her score, Shirley said "it's never too early for that 10 from Shirley" - and it seems that fans online agreed.

Taking to Twitter, which has been rebranded as X, one fan said "Tasha is the absolute most deserving of 3 10s. she is BRILLIANT", while another added: "Wow, wow, wow! I thought Tasha might get stereotyped as a ballroom queen but that Charleston was incredible. An energetic routine that would tax the Duracell bunny."
Unsurprisingly, this shot Tasha and Aljaž to the top of the leaderboard, five points clear of the runners-up, Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas and Wynne Evans and Katya Jones, with both couples scoring 34.
Elsewhere in this week's show, Sarah Hadland performed an emotional routine dedicated to her young daughter, and Chris McCausland wowed fans with his "inspiring" Salsa.
At the bottom of the leaderboard were Nick Knowles and Luba Mushtuk, with 21, and Punam Krishan and Gorka Márquez, with 20 - but will they be in the dance-off tomorrow night, or will someone else take to the dancefloor again?
