Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas was caught telling the live studio audience off in the opening dance of the series.
It came after actor Layton Williams was the first to take the dance floor with an American Smooth alongside partner Nikita Kuzmin.
Layton has been a fan favourite since the start but according to Strictly judges, he struggled with the latest dance.
Despite telling the judges to ‘shush’ as part of their dance, head judge Shirley Ballas was faced with booing to the point where she ‘told the audience off’.
Strictly Shirley Ballas tells the audience off
After making comments about Layton’s dance and sharing that she thought it wasn’t his best, she was met with loud booing as she loudly replied “One second!”
Making the audience quite down, her fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood also gave criticism and despite receiving boos, he did not respond to the audience.
Fans of Strictly took to X, formally Twitter to share their opinion on Layton’s dance as one wrote: “That’s a good dance from Layton but I don’t think it’s his best???”
As another wrote: “That was a fab routine from Layton & Nikita! #Strictly”
