James Jordan has laid into the Strictly Come Dancing judges, after being 'baffled' by their perfect score for Tilly Ramsay at the weekend.
Former Strictly pro James, who has gone onto win Dancing on Ice since leaving the BBC programme, is always very vocal with his opinions about each live show, tweeting along each week and giving his own scores for every routine.
However, his plans to watch and react to Saturday's show in real time were scuppered by the fact that he was about to board a plane to jet off with wife and fellow dancer Ola and their young daughter.
Instead of tweeting his critiques, James and Ola made their thoughts known on Musicals Week in their weekly column for Hello magazine, after they'd caught up on the ballroom action.

CBBC star and daughter of famous chef Gordon Ramsay, Tilly, topped the leaderboard on Saturday, al;ongside pro partner Nikita for their Couples Choice dance to Revolting Children from Matilda.
They got a perfect 40 out of 40 their performance, but James wasn't anywhere near as enamoured with it as the judges in the Strictly studio.
Questioning the score, James wrote: "Call me old, but I didn't really get it. I'm a professional dancer and I couldn't work out what genre of dance that was. Because of that, I'm totally baffled they got four 10s. They were totally, totally overmarked. I don't care what anyone says. "
In agreement, other half Ola commented: "I wouldn't have given it more than a 7 in my opinion. Are the judges voting her higher to keep her in the competition? Who knows."
Fans were quick to react to James and Ola's thoughts, with one replying: "So so glad to hear your common sense reviews. I can’t dance for toffee but I know what I like and your thoughts about Tilly and Nikita exactly mirror ours. We were staggered by the judges scores."
Defending Tilly, another reacted: "Tilly always seems to get the trolling especially from people who should know better. Everyone including James and Ola have been much harder on her than anyone. Way to kick someone when they are down."
