Strictly's Tony Adams 'forced' to apologise after 'go home Shirley' comment

Tony Adams made his feelings known on strictly last week with an outburst that was caught on camera. This week, however, there was an apology to Shirley Ballas, and fans had something to say about that.

BBC's Strictly Come Dancing is often a hot bed for opinion and, last week, the former England player disagreed with the judges' scores. He was spotted shouting 'Shirley, Go home' after seeing with score card from the head judge. Tony and professional dance partner Katya Jones received a 'four' for their cha cha.

This week, however, it was Halloween week and the former footballer had shown off his fancy footwork with an Argentine Tango. The scores were better totting up to 31 out of 40 rather than last week's meagre 17 but it was what some are calling a 'forced apology' that got tongues wagging.
