Former Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan sparked a debate after he exclaimed: "Oh my how Strictly has changed." James, who regularly gives his verdicts on the performances, spoke out minutes into the start of last night's results show.
James, who missed Saturday night's live show because it was his fellow ex Strictly dancer wife Orla's 40th birthday, didn't elaborate on what he had meant by his comment. But his tweet prompted fans to come forward with what they thought of the long-running BBC dance contest which launched in 2004.
@ajw77 replied: "Really not enjoying it so far, very disappointed and we have watched it from day 1 and always loved it."And @PeterJASnell thought: "The production values have changed and the set is just too busy. Too many changes." And @Juliedewdrops said: "I’m missing @AljazSkorjanec and Oti this year, it’s not the show it was. Not enough ballroom content either it’s mostly all Latin these days."

And @lexiibless said: "I genuinely don't get why people who used to like it do not now like it. Fair enough if they've just got bored. I've loved it from day 1 and it's just got better."
@Alison_Gerrard messaged: "Strictly gets better and better. Continuously upping it’s game." But

Ola, 40, matched him in a white tank top as she placed both hands on his arm and smiled blissfully, whilst showing off her natural brown locks.
