Guardians Of The Galaxy's James Gunn reacts to Strictly's James Bye dancing to theme tune

Director James Gunn reacted to Strictly Come Dancing's Guardians of the Galaxy-themed dance.

Saturday night's episode saw professional dancers and their celebrity partners dance to classic anthems from movies.

Soap actor James Bye and his dance partner Amy Dowden danced the Cha Cha Cha to Hooked On A Feeling from Marvel's hit movie Guardians of the Galaxy.

James looked suave dressed up as Chris Pratt's character Star-Lord while Amy painted herself green to look like Gamora.

The writer and director of the movie, James, found the clip of the dance routine and took to Twitter to joke about putting it into the movie.

"Can’t decide whether I should keep this scene in Vol 3. Let me know what you think below," he said.

Fans, while mostly confused about the concept of Strictly Come Dancing, took to the comment section to make suggestions.

"If this isn't playing at least during the credits I'm going to be disappointed," one user joked.

Another posted: "Just feels like it's missing the other characters," while one added: "Guardians The Musical."

"Having just sat through the whole thing I can categorically say that it should somehow be the big finale. Those hips though…" a follower wrote.

For Movie Week, Fleur East did an American Smooth with her dance partner Vito to Part Of Your World from The Little Mermaid whilst Jayde Adams and Karen did a Cha Cha Cha to Flashdance's What A Feeling.

Elsewhere, Hamza Yassin and Jowita did the Rumba to the theme from Jurassic Park and Richie Anderson and Giovanni danced their Samba to Hakuna Matata from The Lion King.
