Anton du Beke Sparks Controversy on Strictly

News summary

Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton du Beke entertained fans during 'Icons' week with his flamboyant costume, intended to mimic music legend Sir Rod Stewart. However, viewers humorously critiqued his appearance, suggesting he resembled characters from Coronation Street instead. Fellow judges also participated in the theme, with Motsi Mabuse dressing as Tina Turner and Shirley Ballas as Cher, yet Anton's outfit became the focal point of online jokes. Additionally, du Beke's awkward comments about contestant Wynne Evans' 'spacial awareness' during his performance drew attention and discomfort from the audience. Despite the controversy, Evans and his partner scored an impressive 30 out of 40 for their routine, emphasizing the emotional weight of their performance. The season is approaching its midpoint, with Blind comedian Chris McCausland remaining a favorite for the glitterball trophy.
