Strictly Judges Skip Movie Week Costume Tradition
3 Oct
Summary
- Strictly Come Dancing judges did not wear themed costumes for Movie Week.
- Viewers expressed confusion and disappointment on social media platforms.
- The first elimination is scheduled for October 4, with scores carrying over.
Strictly Come Dancing's Movie Week has sparked discussion among viewers, not for the celebrity performances, but for the judges' attire. Many fans noted that the judging panel, including Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood, did not don themed costumes as they apparently had in previous years. This observation led to widespread comments on social media, with audiences questioning the absence of the usual celebratory outfits.
The show, which featured a Zootropolis-themed professional performance, saw celebrities dancing to iconic movie tracks. Last weekend's opening show saw John Nellis and Katya Jones lead the leaderboard with 31 points. The scores from the initial live show are being carried forward, with the first elimination set to take place on October 4.
Viewers also expressed frustration regarding professional dancer Lethabo not being partnered with a celebrity this season. The first couple to be eliminated will face the dance-off after judges' marks and public votes are combined.
