BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans make judges demand over Tony Adams after his clap back at Shirley Ballas

Strictly Come Dancing fans have shared a demand for the show's judges after Tony Adams after he clapped back at Shirley Ballas' score. The former footballer returned to the ballroom on Saturday night (October 22) alongside his partner Katya Jones.

The pair danced the cha-cha to the Grandstand theme tune during the live show as the BBC One dance contest dedicated its latest episode to the BBC as it celebrated its century. The broadcaster marked 100 years on October 18 and in honour of the occasion, the remaining couples performed routines to classic BBC theme songs and references to popular shows.

Former England and Arsenal star Tony did, however, find himself at the bottom of the leaderboard with 19 points. And head judge Shirley Ballas had some bolstering words during her critique of the uplifting performance. She told him: "I love you dearly. Keep going because you're what the show is all about."
