Strictly Come Dancing 2024 reached week 10 tonight, with the remaining celebrities battling it out to make it to next week's quarter final!
Things got pretty competitive on the Strictly dance floor with Sarah and Vito, JB and Lauren, and Montell and Johannes, all winning 10s from the judges.
PLUS, Tasha and Aljaz scooped the first four 10s of the series for their beautiful American smooth.
At home, the viewers were delighted by the fabulous dancing on show. But it was actually a visitor to the show that left the fans - and Claudia - "sobbing"
Dancer Dianne Buswell has wowed the viewers this series with her brilliant partnership with comedian Chris McCausland.
Chris, who's blind, has wowed the fans throughout the season with his moves and Dianne's thoughtful choreography and care for her celebrity partner has won her a whole new host of fans.
At the start of the series, Australian Dianne told Chris she wanted to stay in the competition until November because her parents were coming to watch her dance.
Chris looked doubtful at the very idea of staying in the show so long. But here we were in week 10 and Dianne's parents Mark and Rina Buswell were in the crowd!
Proud dad Mark was so chuffed with Chris and Dianne's paso doble, that he was sobbing in the audience.
And that set everyone else off. Even Claudia up in the auditorium! And for a while 'Dianne' was trending on social media site X!
