Strictly Come Dancing fans have shown their support for Paul Merson, urging the show to avoid giving him "patronising" routines after his debut performance on the dancefloor.
A Rough Start
The football pundit's first live show featured an American Smooth to the tune of Vindaloo by Fat Les, a popular football chant, alongside his pro partner Karen Hauer. Despite their entertaining routine, the judges were not entirely impressed.
Judges' Criticism
Craig Revel Horwood criticized Merson for being "flat-footed and stilted," while Shirley Ballas acknowledged the entertainment value but also pointed out the lack of traditional American Smooth elements. The duo received a score of 17 points, placing them near the bottom of the leaderboard.
Fans' Outrage
Viewers took to social media to express their displeasure with the choice of dance style and song for Merson's performance. Many felt he was not given a fair opportunity to showcase his dancing abilities and called for support and fair treatment for the contestant.
A Chance for Redemption
As the scores carry over to the next week, fans are eagerly waiting to see Merson's next performance and have vowed to vote for him to keep him in the competition. The upcoming episodes will determine who faces the first elimination, adding to the suspense of the competition.
