Strictly Come Dancing fans have joked that someone deserves 'jail time' as they made the same complaint about the show's judges.

It was week seven of the BBC One dance contest as the hit show returned to screens on Saturday night (November 2). There was a first for Strictly as they introduced the first-ever Icons Week to mark the much-loved dance programme's 20th anniversary.

It saw the remaining 10 celebrities and their professional dance partners take to the ballroom floor to perform a routine accompanied by a track from a well-known singer or band with George Michael, Madonna, The Beatles and Bruno Mars among them.

But minutes into the show it was all about the judges and there was clearly a divide. As some viewers flocked to social media to complain about the inclusion of the foursome's own dancing moment during the grand entrance, others were praising their costume efforts. @JasonHarrison88 said: "Whoever came up with the idea of the judges doing a choreographed entrance dance deserves jail time!!! #strictly." @atvfriend wrote: "Dear god noooo, The judges dancing, noooo Cringeeeeeee #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly." @VictorianDad2 commented:
