Strictly Come Dancing's Shirley Ballas called out over 'disrespectful' blunder

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing took to Twitter to call out judge Shirley Ballas over a "disrespectful" blunder involving professional dancer Diane Buswell.

During Saturday night's show, radio star Tyler West and partner Diane wowed the audience with their sultry Viennese Waltz to I’ve Been Loving You Too Long by Seal. But during her feedback, Shirley appeared to call Diane 'Diana' several times which many viewers thought was "rude".
