Strictly Come Dancing's Shirley Ballas leaves fans bemused as she causes chaos with Lindy Hop-a-thon scores

Strictly Come Dancing suffered a chaotic end as the Lindy Hop-a-thon’s scoring got the better of judge Shirley Ballas.

The couples were given the ultimate test with the Lindy Hop-a-thon, which took place at the end of the show. Their starting positions was determined beforehand, when the couples drew numbers from a hat.

The judges were tasked with delivering the scores of the group dance, which saw the remaining couples take to the floor in a simultaneous Lindy Hop.

Head judge Ballas then had to announce their couple ranking, which would add a certain amount of extra points to their final tally.

Strictly Come Dancing continues Sunday on BBC One.
