Shirley Ballas found herself at the centre of some score confusion, just two dances into the first live show of Strictly Come Dancing's new series, forcing host Claudia Winkleman to step in for clarification.
Shirley is back as Strictly head judge for 2022, alongside colleagues Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel-Horwood and took her seat on the panel after an amazing start to the show which saw the judges join the party as the pro dancers brought the carnival to the ballroom, for a medley which included Ain't Nobody and U Sure Do.
The first of this year's Strictly line-up to take to the floor was Kym Marsh, who performed a jive alongside pro partner Graziano Di Prima, before radio DJ Tyler West made his debut, doing an American Smooth to Harry Styles hit Falling with pro Dianne Buswell. Tyler admitted on Friday night's Strictly launch show that he had a bit of a crush on Shirley, something referenced by Tess Daly as the judges got ready to deliver their verdicts on Saturday.
