The judges were thrilled by what they saw, with Motsi Mabuse saying: "I honestly feel so proud, proud of that dance there that you put on that dance floor, so authentic."

Shirley Ballas was next and got all her paddles out, saying: "Let me look in here, I don't think I have a paddle big enough, bold enough for you. That was absolutely off the chart."

Anton Du Beke added it was "amazing" and "brilliant, before moving on to Craig, who said simply: "A-MA-ZING."

AJ was overwhelmed by the comments and grew tearful when she got up the stairs to speak to Claudia Winkleman.

She explained: ";This week has been really hard, when you take a lot of tumbles and I kept landing flat on my face, you end up losing confidence a little bit.

"Honestly Kai, I don't know how he does it but he manages to pull out some confidence in me right before the dance even when I'm feeling like I'm not able to do something."
