STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have been left unimpressed by what some have coined the ‘cringiest moment ever’ on the show.
It happened last night just before Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec took to the dance floor for their Viennese Waltz.

Host Tess Daly was gearing up to introduce Tasha and Aljaz’s training segment, when she headed over to judge Craig Revel Horwood.
She said: “Right now on the dance floor is Tasha and Aljaz, they got off to a great start last week.
“In fact, there’s only really one way to describe our social media star isn’t there Craig?”
Craig knowingly turned to Tess and replied: “Skibidi rizz, darling. Ski-bi-di rizz!’”
Viewers at home were left baffled by the word, and Urban Dictionary reveals: “the phrase is the second-highest level of Rizz’, a Gen-Z diminutive version of the word ‘charisma’.”
Fans of the show accused Craig of trying to be “down with the kids” by using a word to appeal to younger viewers of the show.
On social media, one person wrote: “craig saying skibidi rizz on strictly is the worst thing to happen the this society.”
Another said: “That was unbelievably cringe,” and a third person added: “First we got demure, now we got skibidi rizz… What the f***is going on with strictly? This is literally them rn.”
A fourth wrote: “This is the worst thing the show has ever done. Gen Z just turned to dust.”
Someone else said: “my poor gran loves strictly but she’s sick and has enough to contend with without having to hear tess daley say skibidi rizz.”
Meanwhile, Strictly contestant Tasha had to hit back at fix claims again after breaking the show record.
The former Love Island reality star wowed the judges with her Viennese waltz on week two of the competition.
She has previously come under fire due to claims she had previous “professional training”.
But on week two, Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse gave Tasha and her partner Aljaž a standing ovation after their routine.
Three of the judges – including Craig Revel Horwood – called her routine the “dance of the night.”
Anton Du Beke was also extremely complimentary as he exclaimed: “‘Give us a chance to do something bad, I’d like to mark you down.”
Despite it being only the second week, she scored a whopping 35 points as she received nine points from Shirley, Anton and Motsi
Claudia Winkleman also revealed that it was the highest ever score of a Viennese waltz in week two in Strictly Come Dancing history.
Viewers couldn’t help but take to X – formerly known as Twitter – as they declared that she had already earned her spot in the final.
“Three 9’s in week 2???? tasha is a force to be reckoned with,” wrote one fan.
A second user posted: “Tasha’s cinched her way to the final. Like give her the 10’s right now.”
While a third commented “Does Tasha have dance experience? if not ..for week 2 …I think we maybe seeing the winner … it was like watching 2 professionals!”
However many berated the routine as they blasted her casting because of her prior professional dance training.
Another fan said: “Not sure Tasha being on this years Strictly is entirely fair on the rest of the contestants. She is far and away the best dancer, but she is of course a dancer by profession.”
Someone else raged: “Tasha ghouri is a dancer so of course she can dance! Ffs.”
As an additional user stated: “Of course Tasha is a fab dancer….wouldn’t expect anything else from someone who used to be a professional dancer. I’m interested in how those who’ve never danced, or had little dance experience, improve, so Tasha will get no votes from me.”
