Strictly fans 'distracted' after spotting rude detail in background behind judges
Strictly Come Dancing fans were a bit distracted when last night's episode aired.
Movie Week was in full swing when they spotted something rather strange in the background of the Strictly judging panel. As Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke offered their critiques, fans noticed women's legs floating behind them.
In strange video clip, shared on X (formerly X) , you can see a few pairs of knees behind the judges. The knees look detached from audience members' bodies. The strange site in between dramatic blue lights has been compared to people sitting on toilet cubicle.

Cameraman Andy Laurence took to his account @driodcam and said: "Rather unfortunate positioning of two lady audience members on Strictly Come Dancing tonight. Looks like the loo door has been left open."
Another user shared an image of the odd set up and said: "I came here to post this too. They really need to fill those gaps with additional lighters so we don't see disembodied legs."
"My husband thought it was the Halloween show and that this was some bizarre set decoration," added another. And a viewer agreed: "Yes it is bizarre. Surely the producers would have noticed it."
Another said: "I'm glad it wasn't just me - annoyed me all evening!" "I kept saying that all the way through the evening, I'd have been mortified if those were my legs."
Despite the bizarre filming blunder, the show went on without a hitch.
Singer Toyah Willcox is the second celebrity to exit the 2024 series of Strictly Come Dancing. Toyah and her professional partner, Neil Jones, left the competition on Sunday night following a dance off against Paul Merson and Karen Hauer during the second Results Show of the series.
Both couples performed their movie-based routines again, Toyah, married to singer Robert Fripp, and Neil did their Samba to Poor Unfortunate Souls from Little Mermaid. Then, Paul and his dance partner Karen performed their Cha Cha to The Magnificent Seven from The Magnificent Seven. After both couples danced a second time, the judges chose to save Paul and Karen.
The BBC have been contacted for a comment. Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One on Saturday, October 5 at 6.25pm.
