Strictly's Shirley Ballas startles viewers with new look as she issues 'awkward' voting plea

Shirley Ballas suffered an awkward start to Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing as she issued a plea to viewers to get voting if they wanted to keep their favourites in the show, while they were left started by her 'new look.'

Millions of viewers tuned into the first Strictly live show last week to see the likes of Fleur East, Helen Skelton and Will Mellor in action. However, while some of this year's Strictly line-up didn't get the scores they were hoping for, no-one one left the programme in week one.

That all changes in week two, with the first results show of 2022 airing on Sunday night and bookies predicting that it will be either Tony Adams or Kaye Adams who gets the boot. Strictly presenter Tess Daly handed over to Shirley right at the start of Saturday's live episode to remind fans at home that they had a big part to play, with the outcome of which couples goes home based on a combination of judges' scores and viewers vote.
