Jake Wood blew the competition away on last night's (October 4) Strictly Come Dancing with a salsa routine.

The Eastenders star has topped the leaderboard after two dances including a sizzling Latin dance with partner Janette Manrara.

The routine, which included three dramatic lifts and lots of hip-wiggling, awarded the duo 9's from Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Darcey Bussell.

Tonioli said: "Yes, a squillion times yes! I tell you - hips don't lie! That was undiluted full-on fantastic!"

Bussell went so far as to say it was one of the show's best salsa performances, while Craig Revel Horwood commented: "That hip action could crack coconuts. Wow!"

The first elimination in the series takes places in tonight's episode of the show, with Judy Murray currently the bottom of the leaderboard.
