Neil Jones caught the attention of Strictly fans with his impassioned response to some of the scores at the weekend.
The pro dancer was in the throng of the celebrities and partners on screen as Angela Rippon and Kai Widdrington got their results.
The judges were mixed with their responses to Angela, 79, and Kai’s waltz to Nat King Cole’s Fascination, as writes the Mirror.
Craig Revel Horwood handed the pair a not too shabby seven, Motsi Mabuse gave them an eight and Antone Du Beke gave them another seven.
But head judge Shirley Ballas wasn’t as convinced with the performance and handed out a six, giving the duo 28 out of a possible 40.
Viewers at home were said to be stunned at the results, but not as much as new dad Neil, who recently welcomed his first child with Love Island star Chyna Mills.
As Neil pulled an expression of horror at the paltry points, fans took to social media, with one hailing him as having the “face of the series”.
One viewer took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, along with a series of laughing faced emojis: “Neil being outraged over Angela and Kai's scores” Another said: “Loved Neil's reactions to Angela & Kai's scores” alongside a crying with laughter emoji.
Anton said regarding Angela and Kai’s waltz: “It was beautiful and elegant, as we come to expect from you. It was a little abrupt because the side steps weren't quite large enough.
“It was elegant, it was lovely. I could have done with a bit more flow, but as I say that's because the sidestep wasn't quite wide enough, but other than just a lovely dance.”
