Strictly Come Dancing 2024 fans have decided who they think should win this year's competition.

And it might not be who you expect! 

This week's episode hit our screens tonight with the first couple due to be eliminated in tomorrow's results show.

There were some brilliant performances with the first week-2 rumba for 15 years, a lot of great compliments from the judges, and a few tears of joy, too.

But it wasn't Tasha Ghouri's wonderful Viennese waltz, or Shayne Ward's brooding tango that thrilled the fans.

Comedian Chris McCausland's astonishing foxtrot with partner Dianne Buswell won loads of praise, and even caused the celebrity to trend on X for a while.

Despite all these noteworthy performances, though. The fans were united in talking about one thing.

Gorka Marquez's outfit!

Gorka is dancing with television presenter Dr Punam Krishan, who took him to her hone town of Glasgow this week. And as part of the Scottish experience, Gorka got to try on a kilt.

But while he undoubtedly looked VERY dashing in tartan, it was Gorka's dance outfit that really thrilled the fans.

He and Dr Punam danced a foxtrot this week, to the Shania Twain hit, Man! I Feel Like a Woman.

And Gorka's mesh T-shirt and PVC trousers sent him to the top of the trending topics on X as soon as he took to the dancefloor.

The fans absolutely LOVED it,

In fact, they declared whoever had dressed Gorka for tonight's show, the real winner!

Some flustered fans even said they needed a cold shower to recover from the sight of Gorka in his outfit! And others begged him to wear it again next week!

Phew!

The person who the fans want to thank is Strictly costume designer, Vicky Gill, who one delighted viewer said "should be knighted" for Gorka's outfit! 

Punam and Gorka are currently third from bottom of the leader board, but we all know that once the public start voting, anything can happen! 

We'll find out who's going to be eliminated in tomorrow night's results show on BBC One at 7.15pm. Check our TV Guide for more information.
