Former Black Cap Chris Harris has brought his A-game at just the right time on Dancing with the Stars NZ, earning three perfect 10s and three 9s across two performances in the show's semi-final.
The ex-cricketer, who sported some dramatic eyeliner in his first routine, stunned the studio audience with a theatrical rumba before setting the stage alight with a technically proficient quickstep.
The judges were left speechless at his rapid development throughout the competition.
"I am so excited about your journey more than anybody else's, because I literally cannot believe how you were leading Vanessa on the floor," head judge Camilla said.
"I mean, it was just magical - wow!"
Those sentiments were echoed by both Rachel and Julz.
"You are so deserving to be in the final next week!" Rachel said. "Your footwork was once again excellent... tremendous job."
