Strictlys Anton Du Beke sparks fury over miserable Layton Williams verdict

Anton Du Beke stunned Strictly Come Dancing viewers this evening, as the usually generous judge was accused of being “overly critical” of Layton Williams’ Jive.

Layton and his professional dance partner Nikita Kuzmin performed a show-stopping routine to Shy FX and T-Power’s Shake Your Body.

Although the dance attracted top marks from Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse, Anton was less keen, giving the pair an eight, which was echoed by Craig Revel Horwood.

Anton began with a positive remark, telling Layton “it’s extraordinary what you do”.

However, he went on to add: “I am watching a Jive as well, so I have to watch the Jive part a lot more closely and your Jive kicks forward and backward were exceptional, the side ones were a bit loose.

“And towards the end, it got a little heavy, I thought, in the Jive kicks.”

Anton’s criticism was met with boos from the studio audience, to which he insisted he “had to be honest”.

One viewer fumed: “What’s up with Anton. He’s been marking people with 7,8s, and 9s for just showing up. All of a sudden he’s being overly critical?”
