It was an emotional night on Strictly Come Dancing all round as the dancing show paid tribute to the BBC turning 100.<\/p>\n

But following James Bye\u2019s Foxtrot to Julia\u2019s Theme from EastEnders, tears were flowing all around.<\/p>\n

The stunning performance depicted a couple in love \u2013 much as the beloved BBC soap has shown over the years.<\/p>

When he finished the routine and caught his breath, Bye was clearly moved by the routine, telling Tess Daly while pointing to some members of the EastEnders cast: \u201cIt means the world honestly to represent my family over there.\u201d<\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t get much more out before choking up as Daly cut to the judges scores, which were admittedly quite tough to take this week.<\/p>\n
