Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing was embroiled in drama with Brendan Cole disputing head judge Shirley Ballas’ comments to his dance with Charlotte Hawkins.
And tensions continued to mount during the episode, with contestant Debbie McGee becoming the next to face the wrath of the judges after she performed the quickstep with Giovanni Pernice.
Despite wowing with her dazzling routine, the former magician’s assistant, 58, was penalised for breaking the ’10 second rule’ – a decision that left dedicated viewers at home outraged.
