After scoring the first-ever 9 in week one in the history of the BBC One Latin and ballroom show last week, the 33-year-old television presenter wowed the judges and viewers at home once again with her flirtatious Foxtrot to 'Tears Dry On Their Own' by Amy Winehouse.
The frontrunners to lift the coveted glitterball trophy scored another 9 from Motsi Mabuse, bringing their total score to 65, with each of the couples' points out of 30 from the week before being added to this evening's (02.10.21) scores.
Former 'Great British Bake Off' winner John Waite and Johannes Radebe are hot on their tails, with a score of 61 for their tantalising Cha Cha.
The same-sex couple received a special message of support from Years & Years star, Olly Alexander, as they performed to his hit single 'Starstruck' for their routine.
Elsewhere, Gordon Ramsay was reduced to tears as he watched his 19-year-old daughter Tilly dance a breathtaking Charleston with Nikita Kuzmin to 'Yes Sir! That’s My Baby' by Firehouse Five Plus Two.
The outspoken TV chef struggled to fight back tears of joy as the camera panned to him and his wife Tana in the audience.
YouTuber Tilly won two 9's from Motsi and head judge Shirley Ballas, while hard-to-please Craig Revel Horwood and new judge Anto du Beke dusted off their number 8 paddleboards, bringing their overall score to 55.
It was also an emotional evening for 'Dragon's Den' investor Sara Davies, who managed to go from the bottom of last week's leaderboard to fifth place.
At the bottom of the leaderboard this week is former 'EastEnders' star Nina Wadia, whose Tango failed to impress, as the actress made some mistakes, causing acid-tongued judge Craig to make a dig at Anton for not noticing the missteps.
This week, Tom Fletcher and Amy Dowden had to skip their first live dance, as the pair tested positive for COVID-19, but they are hoping to be back next week.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' results show will air from 7.05 pm on Sunday night (03.10.21) on BBC One when the first couple of the series will face elimination.
