Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left feeling ‘annoyed’ during a particular segment in Saturday night’s live show – with some branding it as ‘awful and unfortunate’.

Things seemed to be going well in the third week of the BBC dancing competition, until head judge Shirley Ballas gave some feedback.

As the camera panned to her and fellow judge Motsi Mabuse, two pairs of legs from the audience came into view right behind them.

One eagle-eyed fan noticed the blunder and took to X to vent their frustration at the awkward shot.

‘Rather unfortunate positioning of two lady audience members on Strictly Come Dancing tonight. Looks like the loo door has been left open. #strictlycomedancing #Strictly.’

Many others commented underneath saying they too had spotted it:

‘I noticed that too. Thought it was awful’…’Was very distracting!’

‘My husband thought it was the Halloween show and that this was some bizarre set decoration.’

‘I’m glad it wasn’t just me: annoyed me all evening!!!’

‘If I’d been back there in my kilt it would have been a different kettle of fish!’

One fan even questioned what would have happened had the ladies in question done ‘a Sharon Stone’ referring to 90s film, Basic Instinct.

In one of the thriller’s most memorable moments, Sharon’s character is at a police station under interrogation for a murder.

Wearing a barely-there white dress, her character, Catherine smokes a cigarette, crossing and uncrossing her legs to reveal that she isn’t wearing any underwear.

Saturday’s movie themed week also saw Jamie Borthwick being lauded by the judging panel for his performance of the Quickstep, with his pro partner Michelle Tsiakkas to I’m Still Standing.

The EastEnders star, 30, dressed up as the iconic Elton John, complete with feather boa and rhinestone covered glasses, scoring an impressive 30 points.

After his energetic routine, the judges were full of praise fro Jamie and Michelle, with Anton Du Beke gushing: ‘You know you really are a super super dancer.

However, viewers criticised the judges for predicting that Jamie would lift the Glitterball trophy, while others declared it was 'unfair' that the actor got to do the Quickstep, after he won the Strictly Christmas special with the same dance (pictured)

‘I think you could be one of the favourites to lift the trophy to be quite honest with you. I think you are an exceptional talent.’

Echoing the sentiment, Motsi Mabuse agreed: ‘Yes, Anton, I think the Glitterball is quite close to you!’

And host Tess Daly drew attention to the stellar comment after the feedback, saying: ‘Thank you judges. Two out of four mentioned the Glitterball… that’s big news!’
