Strictly fans have taken to social media to accuse superstar Cher of miming during her final performance on the show. Viewers claimed that the 77-year-old singer appeared "out of breath" while performing her new festive single, DJ Play a Christmas Song. While some were blown away by her performance, others insisted that she was lip-syncing and called her out on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Accusations of Lip Syncing Flood Social Media
As Cher took the stage on Strictly, fans immediately began speculating that she was miming. Many viewers expressed their disappointment, with one person tweeting, "Cher out of breath miming ffs," while another said, "Cher lip syncing out of time was not the finale we were after." Some fans even went as far as to question her abilities, with one person asking, "What the hell is Cher doing! So obviously lip syncing! I think I could do a better job!" However, there were also fans who loved the song despite the lip-syncing, with one person commenting, "Cher miming again but have to say love the song."
Cher's Performance on Strictly
Cher made an appearance on the BBC One show before the winner of this year's series was announced. Ultimately, Ellie Leach and her dance partner Vito Coppola took home the glitterball trophy. The Coronation Street star, 22, beat out actor Bobby Brazier and West End star Layton Williams to claim the top spot after months of training. When her name was announced, Ellie expressed her disbelief and thanked Vito for his support throughout the competition. Vito, who was in tears, praised Ellie and called her the diamond of Strictly.
While some viewers may have been disappointed by Cher's alleged miming, there's no denying that Ellie and Vito's victory was a highlight of the night. As the series comes to a close, fans eagerly await the next season of Strictly, hoping for more unforgettable performances and surprises.
