The splits! The kiss! We're still recovering


When Strictly Come Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice was partnered with Debbie McGee, we're not entirely sure he realised what he was getting into.

The couple took to the floor on tonight's (September 23) opening show and put on such a spectacle that we're still recovering.

In her VT, Debbie described herself as Giovanni's "naughtiest" pupil before pulling an "assistant's revenge" magic illusion on him, proving it completely.

Performing the Paso Doble to 'Be Italian' by Fergie, Debbie was high-kicking and doing the splits like it was no effort at all, finishing off the routine by planting a dramatic kiss on Giovanni's cheek and pushing him to the floor.

And we're only in week one...

The judges were delighted – Bruno Tonioli said Debbie was "tasty, hot and spicy like an Arrabiata sauce in a pasta dish", reminding us with that turn of phrase exactly why we've missed him so much.

Craig Revel Horwood was quite stunned by what he seen and didn't have anything negative to say (for once).

"Whatever Giovanni is doing to you is working darling, because you're dancing like a 20-year-old," he said.

Darcey Bussell was very impressed and told her: "You are on fire, Debbie, oh my!"

And new Strictly head judge Shirley Ballas was amazed by all the content in the performance and told her she was "amazing" and that she "had it all".

Not only that, but they absolutely smashed the scores, with Craig and Darcey awarding them both 8s and Shirley and Bruno giving out 7s.

Viewers were also amazed by Debbie's week one performance.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One.
