Strictly fans slam Shirley Ballas as she shushes audience who boo her after cruel critique

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans were left fuming this evening as Shirley Ballas shushed the audience.

The head judge, 63, was booed after she started criticising Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin’s performance.

Shirley hit back and continued to share her thoughts on the performance.

Those watching at home were not impressed, with one person writing: “Oh shut up Shirley.”

A second said: “Oh f**k off Shirley and your inability to be booed.”

A third commented: “Shirley always picks one person to nit pick at. Lol every year. She will let so much slide when it comes to others.”

“Can shirley give critique without sounding so passive aggressive? “it’s a ballroom and latin competition” really! i’m sure he knows,” added a fourth.

And a firth remarked: “Shirley is so annoying when she shushes the crowd.”

Layton and Nikita strutted a tango to Olivia Rodrigo’s chart-topper Vampire.
