BBC Strictly fans hit out at contestant over Chris McCausland 'dig' on It Takes Two
Strictly Come Dancing star Toyah Willcox sparked major backlash from viewers as she appeared to make a cheeky dig at fellow contestant Chris McCausland.
The singer, 66, and professional dance partner Neil were the latest couple to be eliminated from the BBC hit competition on Sunday night.
Their journey came to an abrupt end when they found themselves in the bottom two. In a tense dance-off, they competed against Paul Merson and Karen Hauer, but ultimately, the judges decided to save Karen and Paul.
Following their exit, the duo appeared on Monday’s episode of Strictly spin-off It Takes Two alongside host Fleur East.
Fleur went on to ask Toyah if she had any advice to give the remaining contestants. She said: “Do you have any advice or tips for any of the other celebrities?”

Fleur was left speechless as she looked around the room. Toyah burst out laughing and added: “You’re all going to face the dance-off.”
Attempting to make light of the situation, Neil jumped in and said: “I think she has chosen her winner.” Viewers picked up on the awkward moment as they went straight to social media to share their reactions.
One commented: “Was it panic I saw on their faces when Toyah said ‘get rid of Chris if you don’t want to do a dance off ‘ …little does she realise Chris is a 100x better dancer than she was and he is there on merit #ItTakesTwo.” (sic)
