Strictly viewers spot 'gentleman' during Sunday night's result show

Strictly Come Dancing viewers have heaped praise on one person after spotting their gesture on Sunday night's results show.

Viewers tuned in for the second half of this weekend's edition of the BBC One competition to find out who would become the sixth c elebrity to leave.

There was a shock in the ballroom as Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty landed in the dreaded dance-off with CBBC star Tilly Ramsay.

It is the second week in a row that Adam and his professional partner Katya found themselves in the bottom two - this time at the halfway mark of the BBC dance competition.

And it was the couple that found themselves exiting the competition after coming in last on Saturday night’s leaderboard.

Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke opted to save Tilly and Nikita while head judge Shirley Ballas said she'd have saved the departing couple.

But also during the result's show, Strictly viewers were treated to a performance from The Script.

Frontman Danny O'Donoghue belted out the band's hit Superheroes and were joined by two of the show's professional dancers.

Gorka Marquez and Karen Hauer accompanied the band with a stunning performance which went down well with viewers.

But it was 'gentleman' Danny who was praised by viewers for his kind touch.

"Give it up for the dancers everybody," he was heard saying as the band were being applauded during their performance.

"Danny from The Script has read the room on what a privilege it is to have a dance choreographed and performed to your music - a mid-song shout-out for Gorka and Karen, no less! #Strictly," one said.

Another commented: "@TheScript_Danny giving a shoutout to @karen_hauer and @gorkamarquez1 a shout out showing the gentleman he truly is. #Strictly "

"Lovely to hear Danny compliment the dancers. I’m not a Script fan but that was nice #Strictly," a third added.

Other viewers, however, pointed out a problem with the performance.

"Was the sound a bit off or was it my TV? Grokls & Karen's dancing was exquisite," one commented.

Another said: "#bbc what on earth is wrong with the sound mix/set up on #Strictly ? The guest singers always sound as if they’re singing into a £5 mic with a sock on it."

"PLEASE PLEASE stop the awful screaming when the guest singers are on!!! It's so disrespectful #Strictly," a third added.
