Strictly fans in stitches at ‘never seen before’ element on show as they all brand it ‘weird’
Strictly Come Dancing brought Hollywood glitz and glamour to the BBC with Movie Week on Saturday and while the judges rose to the occasion with eye-catching costumes, viewers were distracted by something else entirely. Strictly fans took to social media on Saturday 6 October to point out the peculiar lighting behind the judges' panel, which left some audience members' legs on show.
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."
Meanwhile, another fan highlighted that they had never noticed it before. "They have never been there before!!!" they wrote, while another viewer said: "I was thinking the same myself tonight, let's hope they remember to keep them like that for the entire show."

"Yes I noticed them right away," one fan commented, while another said: "I'm glad someone else thinks the same!" The Strictly cast transformed into some of the biggest stars in film on Saturday night, with Tasha Ghouri topping the leaderboard with her Rumba to What Was I Made For from Barbie.
While the pair picked up a score of 34 from the judges, closely behind was Sarah Hadland with 33 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.

Meanwhile, Pete Wicks almost sent his professional partner Jowita Przystal flying during his Samba to George of the Jungle when Jowita tripped over the TOWIE star's leg. They managed to recover smoothly - although even the judges noticed the blunder. "There was the trip hazard, which you created," Craig told Pete.
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."
The line-up was missing one performer this week after Nick Knowles suffered another injury. The DIY SOS star was forced to take a week off after being hit with a "painful" knee injury in rehearsals for the week. "Even if we have to glitter up the crutches, I am determined to get back and try and dance for you next week," Nick said on Strictly's It Takes Two.
