BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans confused by 'annoyed' judge as they appear 'extra tetchy'
by Jessica Sansome · Manchester Evening NewsStrictly Come Dancing fans were left confused by Anton Du Beke's behaviour in the ballroom this weekend as they felt he was 'annoyed' and 'extra tetchy'.
The show's former professional dancer was back alongsdie his fellow judges - Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas - as week four of the BBC One dance contest took place on Saturday night (October 12).
And it was a big night in the ballroom as Love Island star Tasha Ghouriscored the first 10s of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing series as she tops the leaderboard for the third consecutive week.
The 26-year-old, who is the show’s second deaf contestant, scored three 10s for her and professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec’s Charleston, which judge Anton Du Beke said was “practically perfect”. Head judge Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton all awarded 10s, with Craig Revel Horwood scoring a nine to total 39 points.
Another stand-out routine during Saturday night’s instalment of the popular BBC show included a salsa from EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick and professional partner Michelle Tsiakkas.
The duo earned a standing ovation as well as a score of 34 points, their highest of the series so far, with Anton telling the pair it was their “best dance to date”.
Also scoring highly was Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans and Katya Jones, whose tango to Abba’s Money, Money, Money scored 34 points from the judges, with Motsi enthusing: “This is why I love Strictly Come Dancing.”
And while Anton was dishing out plenty of compliments throughout the night, it appears some Strictly viewers didn't think it was enough to his usual standard and didn't think he was too happy.
