Tony Adams yells at BBC Strictly judge Shirley Ballas - the same night she gets professional dancer's name wrong

Tony Adams didn't hold back after he received a low score from head judge Shirley Ballas on Strictly Come Dancing. The former Arsenal and England footballer made an outburst as his scores came in from the judges.

After Tony and his dance partner Katya Jones danced the cha-cha to the Grandstand theme tune on Saturday night's live show, Shirley had some bolstering words. She told him: "I love you dearly. Keep going because you're what the show is all about."
