Kelvin Fletcher burst into tears live on Strictly this evening as he won his first '40' after a "tough week" training.
The former Emmerdale star, 35, was incredibly emotional after being awarded four 10s for his stunning Quickstep to The Lady Is A Tramp.
After his score was read out, Kelvin began to cry and host Claudia Winkleman had to interject as he tried to gather himself together.
This comes after Kelvin admitted that he had found it a "tough week" training.
This week, each of the celebrities danced twice – one Ballroom and one Latin dance.
Kelvin and partner Oti Mabuse are dancing the Quickstep to The Lady Is A Tramp and an action-packed Paso Doble to The White Stripes' Seven Nation Army.
Ahead of his performance, Kelvin shared a heartfelt message to his fans on Instagram .
He said: "Hey guys, just thought I'd send you a little message. I've just had physio, I look like I've had a big sleep.

"So yeah, it's semi-finals night! I can't quite believe it's the semi-finals. Twelve weeks ago I did my first dance, I did the Samba, and it just feels so surreal to be here now in the semi-finals.
"Still can't quite believe that I'm in the semi-finals, especially coming in the way I did. It's been the most amazing, amazing experience of my life.
"And you know what – should it all end tonight, then I've just had an incredible time and I can't thank you guys enough for keeping me in the competition for so long.
"It has honestly been the best job that I've ever had. So thank you to all of the people that have voted, week in, week out.
"I've just loved dancing, I've loved the costumes, the music, everything. It's been tough, it's been really tough at times. Especially this week, especially, having to learn two dances.
"It has been really, really tough. Mentally and pretty brutally phsyically. Dress rehearsal today went well and I cannot wait to dance tonight. I can't wait! Quickstep and the Paso – two very different dances. But I just can't wait for you to see them. So here goes!
"Thanks again guys and make sure watching tonight!"
