Presenter and comedian Eddie Kadi, 40 took to the dance floor with his professional partner Karen.

They received a score of just 21 points from the judges after they performed the Cha Cha Cha.

However, Shirley did not hold back with her critique of the pair's moves on Strictly Come Dancing, especially the choreography.

She said: "I want to be fair to everybody and week two and three are a little bit technical, you danced everything on your toes.

"It's not a toe-in Cha Cha Cha, it's more flat, you have to lower your heels.

"I didn't see a straight leg, the weight was back, I didn't mind this Cuban thing going but not for the whole routine."

She finished her critique by saying: "The posture needs to be in a straight line and we need a little bit of what is a straight leg and what is a bent leg."

Fans thought the pair looked seething, especially Karen due to her history with the judge.

Shirley used to mentor professional dancer Kevin Clifton, 40 who divorced from Karen in 2018.

One fan took to social media platform Reddit with a thread titled 'Karen was p***** off at those comments ????," as they thought that Eddie was caught in the crossfire as Shirley blasted the choreography.

The viewer wrote: "Bet there was some backstage drama after that.

"I’ve always got the impression that Shirley and Karen don’t get along, possibly because Shirley was a mentor to Kevin Clifton and Karen and Kevin obviously divorced."

"But Eddie should not have been caught in the crossfire.

"He has no control over the choreography so critiquing him on that and not giving him any actual feedback on his performance is ridiculous."

And even Craig Revel Horwood, 58, who is has built up a reputation for giving the harshest critique

They added: "Craig in particular said nothing about Eddies performance."

And other viewers were in complete agreement at the comments as they flooded the thread with their thoughts.

One wrote: "I noticed that! she looked fuming."

A second commented: "I mean I do find it annoying when the criticism is focused on the choreography as that’s out of the celebs hands."

"It's not fair to punish the celeb for the pro's chorographical choices," noted a third.
