As the youngsters took hold and moved around the floor, the camera panned out to reveal an elderly couple also performing the dance.

As the song continued, the Strictly professionals took to the floor followed by the judges.

By the end of the routine the floor was full of children, seniors and professionals and the viewers at home couldn't handle it.

Even hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly got in on the action, being led onto the dance floor to sway in among the dancers twirling around them.

But in their long gowns, it was probably best that the presenters didn't try to get too ahead of themselves with any fancy footwork or extravagant lifts, leaving it to the professionals instead.
