Strictly Come Dancing stars Bobby Brazier and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell have hit out at the judges as they find their feedback confusing.
The 34 year old dancer, who has been attracting attention from fans on and off the dancefloor, appeared on the BBC spin-off show It Takes Two and made her feelings known about their experience in the competition so far. Dianne complained that she has been really struggling to advise the EastEnders star on how to improve his performance due to the fact they have been getting mixed feedback from all four on the judging panel.
Strictly dancer Dianne Buswell hits out at judges over mixed feedback (BBC)Dianne told host and fellow pro dancer Janette Manrara: "As the professional we’re always trying to help our celebrity in any way we can, so taking those judges’ comments onboard is something that I always do – but when there are so many different comments you’re like, 'I don’t which way to go (or) how to help Bobby!" She added: "Sometimes it can be confusing for the celebrity, but I guess we just take a little bit from all of them." Janette then decided to remind Dianne that after the duo's Argentine Tango performance last weekend she looked a bit deflated on the back of the judges comments.
But Dianne claimed it was not their comments that left her feeling despondent but their scores. When the couple performed the Tango, the intensity of their performance, which ended with a near-kiss, left presenter Tess Daly gasping: "Oh my goodness me. We've seen a different side to you Bobby! You were in character mode there, weren't you?!" Bobby then replied: "I'm still there," as he tried to catch his breath. Tess then responded: "Still in it! He's still in it, oh my goodness me. It's a modern take."
So it's little wonder why Dianne expected the scores to reflect the reaction their performance generated. Bobby then jumped in and said: "Especially when the comments are so good. There have been a few times when the comments have seemed really positive and then maybe not so reflected in the score." And addressing their near-kiss, Dianne said: "The thing I love so much about dancing is being able to tell a story. It's like acting isn't it. We obviously did the dance the correct way if that's what's being said (romance rumours) because that is the Argentine Tango."

This comes after Craig Revel Horwood recently hit out at Bobby Brazier over his lack of technical improvement. In an interview with Best magazine, he said: "Bobby is bringing some serious style and swagger to this series, like a young Mick Jagger." He added: "He tackled the Argentine Tango with energy last weekend, but I think his dancing has plateaued a little. He's fabulously entertaining but I'd like to see more precision, technically, now."
Bobby and Dianne have been the subject of much discussion on and off the dancefloor following Bobby's recent admission of falling in love with her. But since his comments, Dianne says that she has been left "feeling down" after being trolled over her close friendship with Bobby - despite the fact she is in a relationship with former contestant and YouTuber Joe Sugg. An insider told The Mirror:"The cruel remarks she has read about her relationship with Bobby - who has been really supportive - have hit her hard. Her and Joe are still very much together and he has also been very supportive, and made it clear publicly that he has her back."
