Strictly Come Dancing fans were full of praise for pro dancer Nikita Kuzmin as he called out Shirley Ballas' comments on the BBC show.
The head judge of the BBC Latin and ballroom show criticised comedienne Ellie Taylor for her heel leads as she danced with Johannes Radebe earlier in the series. Later on, Ellie Simmonds and her partner Nikita Kuzmin took to the stage.
Whilst Ellie T received severe criticism for her heel leads, Ellie S was not given such harsh criticism by the head judge and angry fans fumed on social media over what happened. A seemingly annoyed Nikita seemed to call Shirley out as he clapped back at the judge.
