Clara Amfo gets highest score of Strictly Come Dancing 2020 after Anton du Beke awards his first 10
The 10s were flying tonight!
The scores were flying high on Strictly Come Dancing tonight as not one, but four top scores were awarded.
After HRVY received the first 10 of the series from Shirley Ballas, the fun didn't stop there, with Bill Bailey and Clara Amfo bagging them as well.
In the hugely competitive night, it was Clara who ended up at the top of the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard with the highest score of the series so far.
She performed a traditional and energetic Charleston with her professional partner, Aljaž Škorjanec, which went down very well with the judges.

Strictly looked a little different this week, as Nicola Adams and Katya Jones were forced to withdraw from the competition after the professional dancer tested positive for COVID-19.
As per the official rules of the 2020 series, any contestant who receives a positive test is automatically eliminated from the show.
It's currently unknown whether she will be able to come back next year.
As well as that, Motsi Mabuse was replaced by Anton while she self isolates following an urgent trip to Germany. She will be out for two weeks while she follows government guidelines.
Anton's stint went down well on Strictly, with viewers praising his first appearance on the judging panel.
