Strictly It Takes Two host Fleur East was joined by former professional dancer Kevin Clifton on the BBC Two show this evening as part of his Clifton's Choreography Corner segment, as he revealed an unexpected similarity to this year's fan favourite Bobby Brazier. Fleur hilariously referred to judge Craig Revel Horwood's "home economics lesson" when discussing his comments of Bobby's "spatula hands" during their American Smooth from Saturday night, which prompted an unexpected response from Kevin. After Fleur addressed Bobby's "long arms and big hands" Kevin added that he "loved their dance" before he continued to reveal their familiar body part.
"I thought the choreography by Diane was sensational but you can see his hands", as he addressed Bobby's positioning on a clip that was shown from Saturday night. "You can see how he's placing them out to his side, he's keeping his fingers together because he's not a dancer and he's thinking 'right I've got to keep my arms out and I've got to do something with my hands' - they can't just be hanging. He added: "I have big hands as well so I was always slightly conscious of my hands when I was dancing.
If you're a professional dancer you sort of learn how to relax the fingers and it will be softer." He continued to point out though that for him, Bobby's 'big hands' didn't ruin the dance at all. "Dancing is so subjective. For me, if I'm looking at this I'm seeing a great dance and this wasn't enough to take away from it for me but for someone like Craig he's always looking for these things.
