Strictly Come Dancing fans have convinced themselves that one judge has an 'issue' with Bobby Brazier after his latest performance failed to impress them. The EastEnders star was back in the ballroom on Saturday night (November 12) alongside dance partner Dianne Buswell.
The pair were seen performing an American smooth to Ghost Of You by 5 Seconds Of Summer but while the emotional routine got praise from Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood wasn't quite as convinced.
After sharing his praise, Anton pre-empted what his co-star would pick fault with as he told Bobby, who plays Freddie Slater in BBC's EastEnders, that Craig would likely have an issue with his hands - and he was quickly proven correct. As Tess Daly asked Craig for his thoughts on the performance, he said: "I do have a problem with your hands. They're all I managed to watch tonight darling.

"You've got long arms, big hands, they need shaping. They really do, it spoils the line-up of the total dance." He went on to compare Bobby's hands to "spatulas", before adding: "It looks robotic. You really need to - it's the only thing that ruined it. It could have been a really wonderful dance but unfortunately it was let down by it."
Despite the comments, Bobby and Dianne ended up sealing an impressive 32 points from the judges. While Craig gave them both a 7, while Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse both awarded an eight out of 10 while Anton appeared the most impressed and scored them both a nine.
But Craig's comments didn't sit well with Strictly viewers who rushed to have their say.
