Louise, who has two sons with Jamie, let her natural beauty shine as she appeared to go make-up free and rocked tousled locks.

Going for a casual and relaxed vibe, the brunette beauty wore charcoal grey jogging bottoms with sharp white lace-up trainers and kept the winter chill at bay in a black leather jacket.

Meanwhile, Jamie opted for a navy gilet layered over a white sweatshirt and jeans as he stopped for a selfie with an eager fan.

The couple, who married in 1998, were joined by Louise's professional dancing partner Kevin Clifton and his wife, fellow dancer Karen.

While Karen looked eye-catching in a vivid yellow coat and pom-pom edged hat, Kevin was more lowkey in a grey sweater and trilby.

Louise and Kevin looked entirely different on Saturday night, as they channelled their inner Spanish senor and senorita for their Paso Doble on Strictly.

The singer looked truly dazzling in a sparkling black and gold frock, which cinched in at her enviably slender waist and complemented her dark and sultry make-up for the brooding dance.

Featuring an eye-watering side slit on the leg, the frock then flashed her toned pins as she flicked her skirt powerfully like a cape in the dance's true style.

Taking to the floor to traditional music, the mum-of-two was truly memserising as she powered across the floor in a mix of Paso and sexy flamenco moves, with her impeccably curled hair tumbling down her back.

Craig was taken with the routine, stating: 'Kevin you always do brilliant Pasos. It was full of drama, full of lines, just gorgeous'.

It has been a night filled of glitz, glamour and high scores as Strictly took over the Blackpool ballroom for its annual night up North.

Meanwhile Danny Mac proved he really was the one to beat as he scored the first perfect score of the series.

Taking to the famous ballroom floor for this week's Strictly, the Hollyoaks actor, 28, dazzled both viewers and the judges with a truly flawless Charleston to Puttin on The Ritz.

Fan favourite Danny had hoped to impress with his Charleston after leaving viewers speechless with his Argentine Tango last week.

Dressed as a waiter in a red set of satin tails, the Hollyoaks actor looked handsome as ever as he hit the floor with partner Oti Mabuse for another typically faultless routine, full of challenging and daring moves.

Perfectly in sync, the pair hit each and every beat of the music, Puttin on The Ritz, which transported viewers and the live audience to the glitz and glamour of the 1930s.

The routine was met with the highest of praise from the judges, with Darcey calling it 'fast, frantic, unbelievable one-handed cartwheel - it was hard to distinguish who was the pro'.

Len added: 'There was almost choreography overload, so full-on and tight but you held it, fantastic'.

Then Craig, who has been harsh on the actor until this point, dropped the bombshell hint he could be giving his first 10 by saying: 'One word, three syllables, darling: fab-u-lous!'

The routine proceeded to bag the first 40 of the series, with Danny collapsing to the floor with emotion and excitement as Craig whipped out his 10 paddle.

Overwhelmed with the response, he gushed afterwards: 'I can't even put into words what this feels like. Thank you so, so much!'

There she goes! The number was packed with tricks - opening with a cartwheel to open and featuring a number of impressive and challenging lifts

Big finish: Ending with Danny popping a bottle of champagne as huge sparklers were shot into the ballroom, the audience and fellow contestants flew to their feet with applause

Next up was Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton who swapped last week's Rumba for a smooth and graceful Viennese Waltz.

The routine was old-school glamorous for the beginning, opening with the pair embarking on a poker game to the crooning sounds of 'That's Life' by Frank Sinatra.

Dressed in a vibrant pink tie to match his partner's shimmering fuschia frock, the sports presenter looked every inch the gentleman as he lead his lady smoothly and gracefully around the floor - impressing with a lengthy and notoriously difficult fleckerl half way through.

Unable to contain his excitement after the winning dance, Ore shouted out: 'I really enjoyed that... hi Blackpool!'

Bruno has nothing but praise for the cool number, stating: 'Ace of the pack! I loved the jazz angle you took. Cool, sophisticated, slick and brilliant.'

While Craig added: 'Your top line bothered me slightly, your head was slightly inclining to the right. You were a bit skippy around the table - however I love the double jumps you did and you know what, you are an amazing showman.'

The number bagged him a whopping 38 at Blackpool, leaving him in shock - and tears, as is his usual style.

Having loved every minute of the dance, Ore told Claudia afterwards: 'That was such a beautifully choreographed routine, I haven't stopped smiling all week.'
