Some Strictly Come Dancing fans have been bonded by their 'hate' of the same thing, which they expressed following the latest live show. It was another jaw-dropping night in the ballroom as 11 of the 12 remaining couples competed in week five of the BBC One dance contest.
Those taking to the floor were hoping to get a place in next week's Halloween special while also still vying for the Glitterball trophy and it was Layton Williams who once again stole the show. The actor wowed the Strictly judges once again, this time with a high-energy salsa featuring lifts.
The Bad Education star, 29, and professional Nikita Kuzmin received all-round praise from the judges, as well as those watching at home, and the pair received a total score of 39 points, which presenter Claudia Winkleman announced has not happened in week five for 13 years, for the dance to Quimbara by Johnny Pacheco and Celia Cruz.

Praise was also heaped by the judges on former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach and professional Vito Coppola for a dramatic, intense performance of a paso doble to Insomnia by Faithless. and another high scorer on the night was TV presenter Angela Rippon who Craig Revel Horwood claimed "put the rip in Rippon".
But Strictly fans couldn't help but lock to social media to share one complaint - and it was about the couples choice routines. This weekend it was Adam Thomas and his partner Luba Mushtuk who threw out the usual Latin and Ballroom handbook and opted for a street dance routine.
