Strictly fans point out awkward Movie Week blunder as Craig Revel Horwood forced to apologise
It's been a film-tastic weekend on BBC One with the Strictly Come Dancing celebs tackling Movie Week - the much-loved theme that happens every year on the show. From Barbie and Mrs. Doubtfire to Elvis and The Little Mermaid, the class of 2024 took to the stage having transformed into their characters thanks to the impressive hair and make-up.
However, Strictly fans have taken to X to remember a Movie Week when Craig Revel-Horwood insulted a star's fake teeth - only to learn that they weren't fake at all. Sharing a clip on social media, one fan recalled the judges' critiques after then-pro Anton Du Beke's Salsa as Austin Powers with EastEnders star Emma Barton in 2019.
"It's Movie Week on Strictly so I'm thinking about the time Anton was Austin Powers and Craig called his teeth ridiculous, thinking they were props, and had to apologise when they turned out to be real," the fan wrote. In the clip, Craig says: "I was slightly distracted with the wig and the fake teeth that you have in," to which a laughing Tess points out: "They're not fake!"

An embarrassed Craig says: "They're not fake? I'm sorry Anton, I really am. It must be the glasses and the wig," as Craig, Emma, Tess and the rest of the judging panel burst into laughter.
Fans couldn't get enough of the old clip, with one commenting: "That was so funny! One of the best moments on Strictly." While another said: "I literally started laughing randomly as I remembered this during the show. So funny!"

Saturday night saw Tasha Ghouri top the leaderboard with her Rumba to What Was I Made For from Barbie, while Sarah Hadland followed closely behind with 33 points after her Viennese Waltz to Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter. Unfortunately, singer Toyah Willcox found herself at the bottom of the leaderboard once again with her Samba to The Little Mermaid's Poor Unfortunate Souls.
Strictly fans will find out which celebrity will be the next to leave the competition in tonight's Results Show, however after the result was leaked online, viewers have been left divided. Some fans said that the Movie Week elimination was "the correct decision", but not everyone was happy as one fan wrote: "After this spoiler, I'm even more annoyed."
On the night, fans pointed out a big distraction behind the judging panel - with the lighting pointed on some audience members' legs. One viewer wrote on FaceBook: "How weird do these legs look behind the judges?" alongside emojis of a monkey covering its face and two laughing faces. Others were quick to comment on the photo, with one writing: "Very distracting."
