Strictly Come Dancing is back in Blackpool for the first time in three years, after a hiatus in the tradition due to the coronavirus pandemic, but fans were not impressed. Being in Blackpool means the show is bigger, with more sparkles, and more glitter and this year the celebrities were also joined by additional dancers on the dancefloor.
Many viewers did not like the additional dancers joining the routines and began complaining within minutes of the show beginning, Birmingham Live reports. One said: "Strictly get rid of the additional dancers! Off-putting,".
Another said: "Unpopular opinion, but I hate Blackpool week. I know they have extra dancers to fill the floor out, but I find them distracting." A third added: "It must be Blackpool, because the inexplicable and pointless backing dancers are back."
