Strictly Come Dancing's Fleur East has made an incredible comeback after she and professional partner Vito Coppola landed in the bottom two last week.
The 34 year old singer, who recently confessed her husband watches her "hot and steamy" routines, appeared on stage wearing a figure-hugging black and red dress with a thigh-high slit. Vito, 30, matched her outfit as he donned a red shirt underneath a black waistcoat.
Fleur and Vito couldn't help but keep everyone breathless as they made their way across the dance floor, performing a steamy Argentine Tango to Paint it Black.
The judges were left more than impressed as Craig Revel Horwood told them: "That is the dance to beat," while Motsi Mabuse said: “Wow, wow, wow, wow," before going on to break her own chair from the excitement.
Meanwhile, Shirley Ballas said Fleur played her own body like a musical instrument.
The dance earned the pair two 10s, bringing their score up to 38.
Fans of the show immediately flocked to Twitter to voice their support for the pair as one person wrote: "Well done to you both tonight. My favourite by far tonight. Fleur you looked beautiful tonight and could see you had the fighting spirit in you tonight. Strong and it was nice to see the smile on both of your faces tonight," followed by a smiling emoji.
Another called them their "winner" as they said: "That Argentine Tango was STUNNING, what a dance. Feeling really smug about naming Fleur as my pick for winner before the series started – just look at her!! #Strictly".
As a third agreed: "Fleur, what a come back! She was magnificent. Really impressive. A definite winner."
While a fourth added: "Wowsers Fleur and Vito were on fire tonight! #strictlycomedancing," with a fire emoji and a heart eyes emoji.
Fleur landed in bottom last week and had no choice but to go head to head with Richie Anderson, 35, and his professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice, 32.
The singer and Vito danced the American Smooth to Part of Your World from the Little Mermaid, earning themselves a score of 29 from judges Anton Du Beke, Craig, Motsi and Shirley.
TV and Radio presenter Richie Anderson, 34, danced the Samba with partner Giovanni Pernice to Lion King’s Hakuna Matata.
Ultimately, Richie got the axe.
Taking to Instagram following the close call, Fleur expressed her determination to come back with a bang.
She said: "So grateful to be saved by the judges this week. But so so sad to say goodbye to my friend [Richie]."
Alongside a clip from her routine, she added: "Thank you so much for your messages of support. We will work harder this week and do our absolute best on the dance floor.”
