Strictly fans in stitches over Neil Jones' reaction to Angela Rippon's scores at Blackpool Special

Neil Jones' priceless expression

Strictly fans were left in hysterics during the Blackpool Special when Neil Jones, one of the show's professional dancers, had a priceless reaction to Angela Rippon's scores.

American Smooth disappointment

Angela Rippon, 79, performed an American Smooth with her partner Kai Widdrington. However, she received one of her lowest scores of the competition, with Craig Revel Horwood giving them a six. Neil Jones' shocked face in the background did not go unnoticed by viewers.

Fans react on social media

Viewers took to social media to express their amusement at Neil Jones' reaction. One viewer said, "Neil’s reactions to judges scores for Angela R just then were hilarious. Actually lol’d." Another tweeted, "SCREAMING AT NEIL’S FACE WHEN CRAIG GAVE ANGELA R A 6 LOOOOOOOOOOL."

Angela Scanlon shines

While Angela Rippon found herself at the bottom of the leaderboard, Angela Scanlon had a standout performance. Dancing an Argentine Tango with her partner Carlos Gu, she received three 10s from the judges. Some fans now consider her the "dark horse" of the competition.
