Following Halloween week, Shirley, 65, told the duo how their routine ‘lacked breadth’ and ‘wasn’t her cup of tea’.

Karen Hauer, 43, and her celebrity partner, Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, 37, dazzled the audience with an Usher-themed Argentine Tango.

But Shirley was unimpressed and told them it was ‘a little bit of a bump and grind and a little bit an Argentine Tango’.

Viewers took to social media to complain about the head judge.

One wrote: “Whatever Shirley’s beef is with Karen Hauer, I wish she’d just pull her to one side in the corridor and get it out of her system because it affects Karen’s celeb partner’s marks.”

A second noted: “Ah, we’ve reached the annual ‘Shirley beefing with Karen’ part of the series.”

“Old Shirl has her favourites EVERY SERIES,” remarked a third.

A fourth joked: “Scrap behind the bins – I know who my money would be on!”

Big Brother accused of ‘cutting live feed’ as Charlie Kirk comments revealed

“I need Shirley gone at this point. She’s nasty for no reason and ruining every week for me,” urged another.

Karen and Harry found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard over the weekend with 26 points.

 

Fans noted how Shirley had made some cutting remarks about Karen and Harry during the previous Icons Week.

According to viewers, there is also underlying tension between Shirley and Katya Jones.

Halloween Week proved to deliver a nightmare result for another popular Strictly celeb who was booted off the show.

Balvinder and Julian Caillon faced Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola in the dreaded dance off.

Ellie and Vito performed a Tango to Abracadabra by Lady Gaga, while Balvinder and Julian performed their Rumba to Stay by Shakespear’s Sister.

The judges unanimously decided to send model and actress Ellie home.

I live in world’s best city 3 hours from UK… it’s warm in winter & buses are free

Ellie made history on the show as the first participant to compete with Down’s Syndrome and fans were devastated to see her leave.

Fans were devastated to see her go, but also shared their fury seeing Balvinder in the dance off again.
