Strictly Come Dancing viewers blast car crash show | UK News

Strictly Come Dancing announced Instant Dance, a new dance problem that passed off in the Saturday 29 November live show. Overseen by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman , Instant Dance noticed each remaining couple to decide a dance type at random from ones they’ve learnt in the competitors so far. After a frantic sprint through wardrobe to choose and change into their costumes – each couple got just 10 seconds on the countdown clock to determine precisely how they’re going to dance it.

Vincent Simone, who appeared on Strictly from 2006 until 2012, has since spoken out about the latest show addition which left some viewers unimpressed.

One Reddit person vented: “It was a car crash in the best way possible.” Another echoed: “Totally, I couldn’t look away even though I knew it was chaos.”

While a third added: “To me it was more like a train crash with some of the dances getting it back on track despite leaves on the rails….???”

Speaking completely to Express.co.uk on behalf of Paddy Power, Vincent remarked: “There’s nothing wrong with Strictly’s existing format.

The Instant Dance was a fun one-off, but the show shouldn’t start feeling like a game show. Strictly is about working hard all week and performing one polished dance. Occasional twists are fine; they give fans something new – but the heart of the show must stay the same.”

Meanwhile, Strictly followers had been left up in arms after it was announced after Lewis Cope turned the latest star to be eradicated from the BBC dance competitors.

The Emmerdale star and his dance associate, Katya Jones, discovered themselves in the dreaded dance-off against Amber Davies on Sunday (December 7), despite the 2 spectacular {couples} topping the leaderboard this week.

This was a first for the Emmerdale star to be in the underside two, despite both {couples} impressing the judges with their glamorous routines for Musicals Week.
