Strictly Come Dancing fans have spotted a potential hiccup in the pairing of Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell during Saturday night's live show.
The 20-year-old EastEnders star, already tipped as a favourite to clinch this year's Glitterball trophy, wowed the judges with his first dance alongside Dianne. Their Foxtrot to McFly's All About You not only impressed the judges but also bagged them a commendable score of 29 points on the popular BBC show. Anton Du Beke hailed it as his favourite dance of the night, while head judge Shirley Ballas lauded it as 'absolutely exceptional'.
However, eagle-eyed fans have identified a potential stumbling block to their victory – a noticeable height difference. Voicing her opinion on X, formerly known as Twitter, one follower wrote: "People complaining about his neck as if Dianne is the correct height for him."

Echoing similar sentiments, Leah commented: "I don't know if it's just me but Bobby feels a little bit too tall for Dianne." A third agreed, stating: "Dianne looks too short for Bobby." While another queried: "Is Bobby really tall or is Dianne very short?..." Kendal, despite loving the pairing, expressed confusion: "I am so confused that they paired Bobby with Dianne. The height difference is insane."

Meanwhile, other viewers believe that Bobby could be set for another blow after they have "worked out" who will walk away with the famous Glitterball Trophy. Casualty actor Nigel Harman topped the judges' leaderboard, receiving a score of eight across the board for his Paso Doble with Katya Jones.
Head judge Shirley Ballas proclaimed Nigel to be "the one to beat" while Craig Revel Horwood branded his routine "the dance of the night". Motsi Mabuse added: "This at the end of the night was spectacular, amazing."
Strictly fans rooted for Nigel to go all the way to the final after closing the show with his astounding routine. One viewer tweeted: "Just caught [Nigel Harman] and [Katya Jones] Paso on my break at work. That was fantastic I'm rooting for you guys to win. Been a huge fan of Nigel’s since I was 17 and first saw him in EastEnders. #strictly."
"Nigel and Katya. WOW!! That Paso Doble IS the BEST Dance and BEST Paso Doble EVER on #StrictlyComeDancing. Nigel's dance ability and talent is sensational. Katya, outstanding choreography. Nigel and Katya TO WIN," another wrote.
