The star was told by Darcey Bussell: 'It was so beautiful I shivered down my back. I was so taken away with your performance. I can't wait to see you return next week.
Craig Revel Horwood commented: 'It was a spectacular number,' while head judge Len Goodman simply said: 'One word - fabulous!'
Bruno added:' I had tingles down my spine. It almost brought tears to my eyes at the end. It was simply amazing.'

First to impress the judges on week six of Strictly was Casualty star Sunetra Sarker and her dance partner Brendan Cole.
Dressed as sizzling vampires, the pair performed the Jive to Gloria Jones’ Tainted Love.
Scoring a respectable 27, head judge Len Goodman told them that they had lost ‘the flair of the dance’.
Bruno Tonioli added: ‘I understand it’s very hard to do the jive. You’re such a fluid dancer and it’s hard to do flicks and kicks.’
Craig went on to say: ‘I thought it was a little laboured and lacked punch… but you are a natural heavy mover.’

Second to take the dance floor was TV presenter Alison Hammond and Aljaz Skorjanec, who left the audience mesmerised with their American Smooth to Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush.
The 39-year-old star looked gorgeous in a white loose-fit chiffon gown as she took on the role of Cathy in Wuthering Heights, while Aljaz played Heathcliff.
Bruno described the couple as ’a match made in heaven’ but told them that their footwork needed to improve.
Darcey said: ‘I have to say it was fabulous to see you enjoy the American Smooth, I loved the theatricality of it. For me the wafting was beautiful. ‘

Bruno told the wildlife presenter: 'It was a little under-powered. You are usually quite poppy but I’m sure you’ll make a better comeback.’
Darcey commented: ‘I think you were a little preoccupied. I know you've got it in you but don’t hold back. Well done.’
'Your lifts were terrific but things did get into your head,' Len quipped.

However the same couldn't be said for Judy Murray who found herself at the bottom of the table after her and Anton du Beke's American Smooth.
Dressed as the evil Cruella de Vil, the 55-year-old star danced to the theme track from the movie 101 Dalmations and scored a low 20.
‘You are confusing the American Smooth to the American stiff,' Bruno told the Tennis coach. 'You are doing what we expect… to deliver nothing.
Craig: ‘It was spikey. There was no flow to it. It was like you were dancing Anton with a mannequin.’
Darcy: ‘You looked amazing and you looked the part. You came out of the character. But I do want to say there was so much more dance content there – a major improvement.
