Strictly Judges Divided Over George Clarke's Dance Routine

Strictly Come Dancing judges clashed over George Clarke's performance during the latest episode of the BBC show. The architect and TV presenter, paired with professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova, faced mixed feedback from the panel.

Head judge Shirley Ballas praised Clarke's technique, awarding him a score of 7. However, Craig Revel Horwood criticised the routine, calling it 'stiff and lacking in fluidity', giving a score of 5. Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke offered contrasting views, with Mabuse noting improvement while Du Beke highlighted timing issues.

The disagreement sparked debate among viewers on social media, with some supporting Ballas's assessment and others agreeing with Horwood. The final scores placed Clarke in the middle of the leaderboard for the week.
