EastEnders\u2019 Bobby Brazier<\/a> moved judges to tears during his final performance on Strictly Come Dancing.<\/p>\n

Brazier his Strictly pro Dianne Buswell performed their week 10 Couples\u2019 Choice to This Woman\u2019s Work by Maxwell, which was dedicated to his later mother Jade Goody.<\/p>\n

Their performance previously scored 37 points and this time round the judges scored them an impressive 39, which all three of his dances have scored during the final.<\/p>\n

An emotional Anton Du Beke told Bobby: \u201cAn incredible moment, you\u2019re a gorgeous boy, I wish you the best and hope you have magical career.\u201d<\/p>\n

There wasn\u2019t a dry eye on the judging panel, with Craig telling the pair: \u201cThat\u2019s what the arts is all about.\u201d<\/p>

Brazier blew the judges away earlier in the competition with his performance and earned praise from head judge Shirley Ballas, who dubbed him as \u201cThe King of Latin\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour joy of dance is not like any other,\u201d judge Motsi Mabuse said.<\/p>\n

While Craig Revel Horwood scored the dancing duo a nine, the rest of the judges awarded the pair with 10 points, which saw Brazier earn his highest score of the series to date.<\/p>\n

Much like Strictly finals in the past, the judges points do not hold weight and are only guidance for viewers.<\/p>\n

The actor previous told RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press that he felt \u201clucky\u201d to have made it to the final.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI feel lucky. Being in the dance-off, I was watching Annabel and I thought it was flawless. So I feel lucky.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what I wanted, I wanted to experience all of Strictly. So to know that I\u2019m not going to miss out on a dance and I get to do as many dances as I possibly could have with Dianne. That\u2019s what I wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brazier found himself joint second on the leaderboard with Ellie Leach<\/a> following their Judges\u2019 Pick, with both of them just one point behind Layton Williams<\/a> who scored a perfect 40.<\/p>
