Strictly Come Dancing: Anton Du Beke gets his first ever 10

Anton Du Beke won’t forget this year’s Blackpool episode of Strictly Come Dancing.

After 17 years on the BBC series, the show favourite has scored his first ever 10.

He and partner Emma Barton performed an American Smooth and were rewarded with the highest score possible from head judge Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli.

It was particularly momentous, as Shirley has been slammed for being especially tough on the partnership.

Taking in his two 10s, Anton quipped: “Now I know what it feels like to be Kevin Clifton.”

Viewers were thrilled for him and EastEnders star Emma…
