Strictly Come Dancing fans slam ‘cruel’ Tess Daly moment after host blunder
STRICTLY Come Dancing viewers have hit out at a ‘cruel’ Tess Daly moment following a host blunder.
Tonight’s (October 12) live show saw the remaining 13 couples once again take to the dance floor.
After Dr Punam Krishan‘s Jive with Gorka Marquez, veteran judge Craig Revel Horwood dished out trademark harsh critiques.
However, it was presenter Tess Daly whom fans were left unhappy with.
Craig told Dr Punam: “I thought it was really sloppy, messy, full of mistakes.
“Not your night, I’m afraid.”
Meanwhile, presenter Tess hadn’t heard the judge’s final comment.
The host asked Craig to repeat it – only to say she wished she hadn’t upon hearing the remark.
Fans watching at home slammed the moment, as some branded it “cruel.”
Others questioned why Tess asked for Craig’s comment to be repeated.
One wrote: “Why did Tess not hear Craig and then ask what he said? That was weird. You’re the presenter!!”
Another commented: “Tess making Craig say Punam did bad TWICE, oh that’s just CRUEL.”
While a third penned: “Not Tess getting Craig to repeat ‘Not your night’ twice.”
A fourth chimed in with a joke comment: “The evil Tess making Craig repeat the most scathing review the show has ever heard in its existence.”
While yet another said: “Tess nobody cares that you didn’t hear it why’d you have to make him say it again.”
A fellow fan wrote: “Now why the f**k did Tess make him repeat that…?”
Dr Punam wasn’t the only celeb to face Craig’s scathing comments.
A returning Nick Knowles, who missed last week due to injury, made his Strictly comeback.
