Aljaz and Dragon's Den star Sara wowed both the judges and viewers with their Tango, performed to Por una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel.
The dance earned Aljaz his highest-ever Tango score
When it came to the scores, the pair managed to net themselves 36/40, with all four judges giving the pair nines. Claudia Winkleman then had some amazing news for Aljaz.
"Aljaz, that is your highest Tango score the whole time you've been on Strictly Come Dancing," she told him. The Slovenian pro was clearly over the moon upon hearing the news and enthused: "It took me nine years to get four nines for a Tango. Get in!"
Aljaz and Sara were delighted by the judges' reactions
Sara, meanwhile, was nearly left speechless by the amazing results, and could only state that she was "blown away".
Aljaz's previous highest score for the tango was a 35 which he scored in 2013 in his first series with Abbey Clancy, with who he went on to win the competition.
