Strictly Come Dancing fans baffled by 'kinky' outfits worn by AJ Pritchard and Saffron Barker

Strictly Come Dancing is normally a family friendly show, but this week's costumes have made some viewers blush.

For movie week AJ Pritchard and Saffron Barker did the paso doble to Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Lorde from The Hunger Games.

And they were dressed up in outfits that were themed around the fantasy film - though some fans thought they looked a little more raunchy than the wardrobe department might have intended.

One tweeted: "Is it ironic that seeing AJ in his Hunger Games outfit is making me thirsty?"

"Very much liking AJ's bondage outfit though," another posted.

A third wrote: "AJ looks like he’s ready to go to a BDSM party..."

"AJ in a leather collar..I'm done," another said.

Despite their dodgy get-ups, AJ and Saffron wowed the judges with their performance.

Each judge gave them a seven each, landing them a combined score of 28.

It was their highest score yet, with AJ saying he was "so happy" with it.

Tonight viewers were baffled when Shirley Ballas appeared to be making a dig at one of the professionals.

She heaped praise on Catherine Tyldesley's rumba with Johannes Radebe.

But it came at the expense of Neil Jones and Alex Scott, as she said the early rumba routines are normally "cringe".

Viewers thought the jibe was a low blow to the other couple.
