RADCLIFFE actor John Partridge, pictured, bent over backwards to impress the judges as he topped the leader board in a new talent show.
The EastEnders and West End star is one of 10 celebrities taking part in BBC1 show Tumble, which aired for the first time on Saturday night.
John reigned supreme for the first night, scoring 27.5 out of 40 — winning a host of new fans on Twitter.
Former Strictly Come Dancing judge, Arlene Phillips, wrote: “Darling @mustbejp you were fab last night @bbc1 #tumble.”
The stars will all compete again next week when the two lowest scoring celebrities will go head to head in tackling the vault.
