Strictly Come Dancing viewers said they had 'never been angrier' after Craig Revel Horwood's response to Sarah Hadland's routine. The Miranda actress performed a couple's choice routine to Padam Padam by Kylie Minogue with dance partner Vito Coppola at the famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Saturday night.

But the star received a mixed reception from the Strictly judges. Craig Revel Horwood received a huge chorus of boos from the audience as he told Sarah it was 'too perfect'.

He said: "It's a tough one. A lot of the choreography is economical...one still has to live and stand out through it so you don't blend in with the chorus. It was a little too perfect."

Unable to speak until the boos died down, Craig added: "I know that sounds weird but it just lacked an attitude in those still moments that brought you out of the crowd...however, spec-tac-ular."

Anton Du Beke disagreed with his BBC co-star, telling Sarah: "You didnt go wrong. You had perfect timing, perfect co-ordination.

"It takes huge confidence, there was no hint of a look out the corner of the eye to make sure you were matching." He branded the dance the "best thing you have done by miles".

Viewers were livid over Craig's comment, with one writing on X: “Too perfect” and he still can’t find his 10 paddle. You’re not even funny Craig."

A second fumed: "I don’t think I’ve even been angrier with #Strictly , than Craig just telling Sarah she’s “too perfect”?! WTF #strictlyBlackpool #StrictlyComeDancing."

Another fan commented: "Craig taking a point off sarah for being too perfect reminds me of when he didn’t give ashley roberts a 10 because she didn’t breathe enough in her contemporary dance #strictly."

"Sorry???? Craig taking a point off Sarah because it was “too perfect”????," another fan wrote. And another added: "Not Craig marking down for being too perfect."
