Your support makes all the difference.While one of the nation's favourite TV shows may have ended - *sniff* The Great British Bake Off - another has only just started to heat up: Strictly Come Dancing.
Week three was movie week - where contestants had to create dance numbers based on popular films - with Star Wars, Rocky III and Happy Feet all getting the Strictly make-over.
None, however, were as impressive as Jay McGuiness’s Pulp Fiction routine which scored this season’s first 10 from Bruno Tonioli.
The Wanted singer donned the same black suit and long hair as John Travolta's character Vincent Vega, while dancing partner Aliona Vilani wore a black wig, the same as Uma Thurman’s Mia Wallace.
Judge Tess Daley told the pair “You brought the house down,” while Craig Revel Horwood said: “That is a level of technique we have never seen ever. Amazing darling.”
The duo recreated the famous restaurant scene at Jack Rabbit Slims, in which the two take place in the ‘Twist’ contest. Watch the scene below.
Quentin Tarantino’s film instantly became a cult classic upon its release in 1994, the soundtrack of which was made up of completely unoriginal music.
The two songs featured in McGuiness’s routine both appear in the movie: “You Never Can Tell” by Chuck Berry during the restaurant scene and Dick Dale’s “Misirlou" - sampled by The Black Eyed Peas for their song “Pump It” - during the opening credits.
