Brendan Cole hit out at the judges for failing to mention it, as they instead praised the 49-year-olds lifts.

He said: “Lifts never excite me – it's not a tricky thing to do for a professional dancer so that kind of thing doesn't excite me. It's a weird look – it's not particularly elegant.

"It's not the kind of thing I'd do, but they [Amanda Abbington and Giovanni Pernice] got their cheeky laugh and they got there. They got their moment, but I do think she did a great number."

He continued to : “She flagged towards the end, and the judges didn't pick that up, which I found interesting.

"That was one of the key things about her number, it started powerfully, she was amazing [and] she looked fantastic. Then suddenly, it fell off towards the end.

"All they could talk about were the fantastic lifts – they did do one or two really nice lifts.”

Brendan, 47, left Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 following reports of a backstage feud with head judge Shirley Ballas.

Meanwhile, Saturday's show saw Les Dennis become the first contestant to be eliminated.
