Strictly Come Dancing 2015: Jay McGuiness secures first 10 of series as he tops leaderboard with 'best dance ever'

Jay McGuinness has secured the first 10 of the new Strictly Come Dancing series with his jive to a Pulp Fiction medley which was hailed as the "best dance ever".

The Wanted singer received 37 points and a standing ovation on finishing his dance with professional Aliona Vilani and was showered with praise by the judges.

Bruno Tonioli said that he “out-done and out-danced [John] Travolta and everyone here tonight" before deeming it the "best dance ever”.

Darcey Bussell called McGuiness the "coolest guy in the competition" while resident meanie Craig Revel Horwood said: “That is a level of technique we have never seen ever. Amazing”.

It was Saturday night at the movies for the celebrities as they channelled their favourite film stars.

EastEnders actress Kellie Bright took second place with 32 points for her Star Wars charleston with professional Kevin Clifton.

She was joined in second place by Call the Midwife star Helen George who let loose her inner Marilyn Monroe as she danced the foxtrot to Some Like it Hot.

Revel Horwood described it as “absolutely gorgeous” while Len Goodman joked: “Some like it hot I like it elegant – and that’s just what I got.”
