Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood had a Great British Bake Off moment in tonight's (December 7) semi-final.
After contestant JB Gill performed a Salsa with his professional dance partner Lauren Oakley to 'Red Alert' by Basement Jaxx, he received a Strictly first - a Craig handshake.
Following the performance, Craig beckoned JB to the judges panel, saying: "JB darling, you need to come over here, come to Daddy."

Addressing the fact that Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood was watching the live show from the audience, Craig said: "Paul Hollywood's in darling."
The judge then proceeded to give JB a 'Hollywood handshake', a gesture made famous by the Bake Off judge who awards handshakes to outstanding contestants. The camera panned to Hollywood, who smiled and applauded the crossover moment.

"I just felt it was in the groove, baby," Shirley Ballas said, adding: "If you were ever to have the time of your life, you've had it tonight."
Meanwhile, Anton Du Beke described the performance as "just brilliant".
It wasn't the only first in tonight's show, as JB and Lauren also received their first perfect score of the season when they received a 10 from each of the judges.
Their score also marked the first perfect score for a Strictly Salsa in six years, as pointed out by host Claudia Winkleman.
Fans shared their delight at the crossover, with one excited fan writing on X: "craig giving jb a hollywood handshake with actual paul hollywood in the house???? i'm SCREAMING".
