Strictly viewers unhappy with Craig's comment on Bobby's hands
Craig had a very specific criticism for Bobby.
Although Strictly Come Dancing got off to a flying start, the viewers had somewhat of an issue with Craig Revel Horwood's harsh criticism.
Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell performed a stunning American Smooth which not only had plenty of pace but also emotion.
The EastEnders actor and his professional dance partner seemed to be overjoyed with their routine and got some positive feedback from Anton Du Beke.
But then eyes turned to Revel Horwood, and he was very unhappy with Brazier's hands, pointing out how large they are.
"That's all I managed watch, darling, Revel Horwood said.
"You've got long arms and big hands and they need shaping. It looks robotic.
"It's the only thing that ruined it, it could've been a wonderful dance but unfortunately it was let down by that. Sorry."
While the crowd booed Revel Horwood, Brazier admitted while showing them to Tess Daly: "They are quite big aren't they..."
Daly conceded: "Oh, they are large."
