Strictly Come Dancing fans have praised Craig Revel-Horwood for this "honest" scoring and critiques following the first live show of the 2023 series, which aired on Saturday 23 September.
Craig, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke are back on the judging panel for another year of Strictly. The celebrity line-up includes the likes of Adam Thomas, Bobby Brazier, Ellie Leach and Angela Scanlon.
The judges' scores during Saturday's show appeared to divide viewers, with many surprisingly supporting Craig, who is regularly criticised for his harsh comments and low scores.
However, fans praised his honesty on social media and said he was speaking "sense", with some even branding him the "best judge" on the panel.
Taking to social media, one viewer wrote: "Craig is the only honest judge!! I respect that! #StrictlyComeDancing."
A second fan hit out at the other judges, writing: "The judges are so patronising when trying to be nice for fear of sounding like Craig. Just give honest critiques about how to get better. #StrictlyComeDancing".
"I hate when the audience boo Craig. He's the one judge that speaks sense #StrictlyComeDancing," a third Strictly viewer penned, while a fourth stated: "4 judges but I only care abt Craig's opinions. best judge I take no exceptions #StrictlyComeDancing".
It wasn't only the judges' scores and comments which divided fans either, with hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly’s outfits also proving to be a huge talking point.
Claudia and Tess looked stunning as they opted for similar looks in matching black and white business chic outfits. Tess donned a long-sleeved white shirt paired with some shiny black trousers, while Claudia sported a black long-sleeved suit with a white collar and cuff detailing.
The pair's looks caused a stir on social media, with one fan writing on X: “Tess looks like she’s dressed in the outfit that was meant for Claudia tonight. #Strictly”.
Meanwhile a second viewer said: “What the F are Tess and Claudia wearing… cheap tat. This show has become so cringe. Can we please have sophistication. #Strictly”.
A third wrote: ““Tess and Claudia look like they’re about to head out in Gangster fancy dress #Strictly”, while another said: “Tess's trousers look a little like bin bags and Claudia's outfit is giving athleisure vibes #Strictly”.
However, other viewers thought Tess and Claudia, as well as the judges, looked stunning as they wrote: “Tess, Claudia and all of the judges are looking STUNNING tonight. 10/10 to the wardrobe department, as always”;.
Another added: “Tess and Claudia look [fire emoji] #Strictly”
