BBC Strictly fans complain about 'abysmal sound quality' as they say George Ezra's performance 'ruined'

Pop star George Ezra took centre stage as a special guest on Sunday night's live results show. The singer-songwriter, whose hits include Green Green Grass and Shotgun, performed his atmospheric new dance track on the BBC dance contest.

As viewers waited to find out the latest star to be eliminated from the competition, George sang Dance All Over Me and was joined on the dancefloor by the show's professional dancers Michelle Tsiakkas and Kai Widdrington. As fans enthused about the performance, others complained about 'sound quality.'

Some said the performance was spoiled for them by the 'cheering' and 'screaming' studio audience. Others complained about the 'volume.'
