Bobby Brazier and his dance partner, Dianne Buswell, have been fan favourites on Strictly Come Dancing since day one. But when they stepped onto the stage this week to perform a tango to David Bowie's Fashion, viewers couldn't help but notice something was off.
The week four dance got mixed results from the judges, scoring the duo 30 overall, compared to glowing reviews in previous weeks. Anton du Beke was 'so delighted' with the 20-year-old Eastenders star, while Craig Revel Horwood was booed by viewers as he criticised Bobby's 'lack of focus'.
The duo embraced as Dianne fought back tears, showing their bond, but viewers noticed Bobby's usual levity was missing during judging. Fans took to social media to express their concerns, with one writing, 'Bobby didn't seem his usual happy self this week bless him, I hope he's ok?'. Another wrote, 'Something was really off with Bobby and Diane tonight, just felt like they were going through the motions #strictly.'
Viewers also criticised the pair's height difference, as Bobby is 6ft 2 while his professional dance partner is around a foot shorter at 5ft 2. Some suggested Nadiya Bychkova would have been a better fit, as she is closer to Bobby's height.
Regardless, Bobby and Dianne still remain fan favourites and are pipped as finalists given their consistent scores. Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturday and Sunday on BBC One and iPlayer. Fans can only hope Bobby and Dianne can put the emotions aside and continue to dance their way to the top.
