Strictly's Anton calls Kym Marsh's Charleston the "best dance of the series"
Kym and Graziano performed their Charleston to If My Friends Could See Me Now from Sweet Charity.
Kym Marsh's Movie Week performance on tonight's Strictly Come Dancing went down a treat with the judges, with Anton Du Beke going so far as to call it the "best dance of the series".
Kym performed the Charleston this week with her partner Graziano Di Prima, set to the song If My Friends Could See Me Now from 1969 film Sweet Charity.
After they had performed, Anton heaped praise on the dance, calling Kym's performance "pure musical movie magic", adding that he "loved every second of it".
Anton laid out his full thoughts before adding: "I thought that was not just your best dance, I reckon that's the best dance of the series yet".
Craig had some slightly harsher criticism for Kym, saying she needed to provide more energy for the style of dance. However, this didn't stop Kym and Graziano from jumping to second place on the leaderboard at the time, below last week's leaderboard toppers Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu.
