BBC Strictly Come Dancing flooded with complaints within minutes of results show after 'off-putting' moment

Strictly Come Dancing has been hit with complaints after viewers pointed out an 'off-putting' moment minutes into Sunday night's results show. The BBC dance contest returned this weekend for its fifth week of glitz, glamour and some sensational routines.

11 of the 12 remaining couples took to the dancefloor on Saturday (October 21) with brand new performances in the hopes of making it through to Halloween Week. Saturday night's show saw Bad Education star Layton Williams and his partner Nikita Kuzmin take the top spot after their high-energy salsa landed them a near-perfect score of 39 from the judges.

At the bottom of the leaderboard was comedian Eddie Kadi and his partner Karen Hauer, who received the lowest score of 24 after their Samba to Calm Down by Rema and Selena Gomez. Before finding out their fate, Sunday night's results show kicked off as usual with a group dance from the Strictly professionals.
