Strictly star Shayne Ward has hit back after seemingly rubbing a few viewers up the wrong way last Saturday with his sizzling samba.
Shayne was one of the first contestants to take to the floor during Saturday night’s first live show (September 21).
However, his routine with partner Nancy Xu didn’t score highly with the judges, and Strictly fans watching at home seemed to be in agreement. So could the Coronation Street star’s place in the competition be under threat?
Strictly 2024: Shayne Ward’s samba fails to impress
Shayne and Nancy danced the samba to Stevie Wonder’s Do I Do.
They ended up in 10th place on the Strictly leaderboard with a score of 21 points.
Craig Revel Horwood gave them a four, Motsi Mabusi followed up with a six, Shirley Ballas awarded a five and Anton Du Beke followed Motsi’s lead, also giving the couple a six.
Viewers at home also had their say on the hashtag. And it seems Shayne didn’t win himself many fans with his confident attitude.
“The overconfidence is actually something I’m not enjoying about Shayne right now,” said one. “No question, he’s good but he’s NOT the master of all things dance.”
A second added: “Shayne‘s not learned that no one takes to the hyper-confident competitive ones, has he?” A third commented: “Slightly pleased that Shayne”
