STRICTLY fans are convinced Shirley Ballas has reignited a ‘feud’ with Fleur East.
Last month, viewers took to Twitter to declare the head judge had it in for Fleur after Shirley revealed she would have saved Richie Anderson over the former X Factor star in the dance off during Movie Week.
Strictly fans are convinced Shirley Ballas has reignited a ‘feud’ with Fleur East.
Shirley didn’t look happy when Fleur finished her routine
Fans thought the two were locked in a feud last month and have reignited their theory after tonight’s show
While the feud rumours have quietened down in recent weeks, they were reignited once again tonight after Shirley’s comments to Fleur following her latest routine.
Fleur and pro partner Vito Coppola danced a Waltz to I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues by Elton John.
Giving her critique afterwards, Shirley said: “I was actually quite pleased with you, there was a lot in there I liked. I appreciate it’s difficult to come after a Jive, and to keep your composure and to keep it really beautiful.
“So I loved that, I loved the connection with the body, it had some finesse, there was some beautiful closes going on here when you were doing your chain steps, style, grace.”
But Shirley then pulled out a pair of small dancing shoes to show Strictly viewers and Fleur where she had gone wrong with her footwork.
While Shirley said there “was a lot to like” and she had done her late father “proud”, viewers were still convinced the judge wasn’t a fan of Fleur.
Taking to Twitter, one Strictly fan wrote: “No but really what is Shirley’s issue with Fleur? She was so icy then with her feedback.”
Another added: “Shirley clearly doesn’t like Fleur. She doesn’t even look at her when she critiques her. It’s so uncomfortable to watch!”
A fellow viewer agreed, writing: “Anyone else noticed that Shirley barely even makes eye contact with Fleur when providing feedback!!!”
Another fan tweeted: “shirley’s vendetta against fleur continues … getting boring now.”
Meanwhile a fellow viewer shared: “Fleur’s dance was absolutely gorgeous. Shirley’s hatred for her is truly showing through #strictly.”
Strictly airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
