Strictly Fans Fume Over New Format Changes
4 Oct
Summary
- Viewers expressed dissatisfaction with a recent format alteration.
- The popular show introduced new presenters for its latest episode.
- Dance performances and musical acts were featured during the show.
Strictly Come Dancing's return this weekend for its Movie Week special has led to a wave of viewer complaints. The popular competition featured 15 couples dancing for the judges, with Delta Goodrem and Kai Widdrington topping the leaderboard. However, a change in the results show's format, specifically the timing of the judges' debrief, irked many audience members.
Previously, judges' analysis occurred later in the programme. This year, however, the debrief with new presenters Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe took place before any results were announced, baffling and frustrating many viewers who voiced their grievances online. Some fans questioned the necessity of two presenters for this segment.
Despite the controversy, some viewers were thrilled to see Emma and Johannes collaborating. The episode also included performances from Matilda The Musical and the show's professional dancers. The first set of couples were later confirmed to be safe, proceeding to week three of the competition.
