BBC Strictly fans complain about 'distracting' detail as show returned to Blackpool

On Saturday night Blackpool rocked as Strictly Come Dancing returned to the seaside resort. After three years away, the remaining Strictly couples took to the dancefloor at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

The celebs and their pro dance partners danced with the aim of impressing the judges Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and head judge Shirley Ballas as well as the voting public. The show opened with a stunning group dance extravaganza, complete with rain ponchos in a cheeky nod to the weather, celebrating Strictly’s long awaited return to the home of ballroom.

However, as the stars lit up of the ballroom with their week nine routines many viewers took to Twitter to complain about an 'off-putting' detail. Fans complained that the addition of extra professional dancers to their performance was 'distracting' from the performances.
