'She's a judge!' - BBC Strictly fans complain over Shirley Ballas 'cringey' critique of Will Mellor

Strictly Come Dancing fans flocked to Twitter to have their say after head judge Shirkey Ballas gave her critique on Will Mellor's performance. Fans of the BBC dance contest complained after the judge commented that the Coronation Street and Two Pints of Lager actor was 'very, very easy on the eye.'

The 62-year-old former Latin dance champion gave her verdict on the BBC dance contest after Will and his dance partner Nancy Xu performed a salsa on Saturday night to the romantic Luther Vandross classic Never Too Much. She told him: "Well first of all you're very, very easy on the eye, very adjudicator friendly."

However she added: "But there were some mistakes this evening." And Shirley, who was sporting a new bobbed curly hairstyle, advised that moving on after the "glitz and glamour", it was time for the "nitty gritty."
