Strictly fans spot 'dig' at axed judge as 'shade is thrown' during opening song

Strictly Come Dancing kicked off Movie Week on Saturday with a much-loved Disney song performance - but viewers are convinced shade was thrown at an axed judge.

The professional dancers performed a routine to the Encanto movie's popular song 'We Don't Talk About Bruno'. However, some viewers read into the song choice and were convinced the song was a dig about former judge Bruno Tonioli who left the hit BBC show last year.

And after the routine, Strictly host Claudia Winkleman even made a little joke about the former judge telling the audience: "We still talk about Bruno... all the time." Many viewers took to Twitter claiming the song was chosen on purpose as a nod to Bruno.
