Shaun Wright-Phillips and partner Alexis Warr received a score of 15 for their Quickstep on Strictly Come Dancing.
Strictly Come Dancing viewers have criticised former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips and his professional partner Alexis Warr following their week three performance. The pair scored 15 points for a Quickstep to 'I'm a Believer' by The Monkees on Saturday, October 10, finishing ninth overall with a combined score of 40 from the first two weeks. The dance was judged by Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke.
Strictly fans took to Reddit to share their views. Some viewers were highly critical, with one commenting that Wright-Phillips dances 'like he's taken too many footballs to the head', while another said 'emergency services on their way after a terrible car crash'. However, other viewers defended him. One commenter wrote: 'Well at least he looks like he's having fun, and we do love someone who gives his all.' Another simply said: 'Bless Shaun. He tried.'
Meanwhile, celebrity hair stylist Chris Appleton became the first contestant eliminated from the competition last week. Appleton and his partner Amy Dowden, with a combined score of 33 points over two weeks, were sent home after losing a dance-off against Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu.
