Strictly Come Dancing's Shirley Ballas slammed by fans for 'undervaluing' a tribute to the late Ronnie Corbett

Shirley Ballas has been accused of 'undervaluing' a tribute to late comedian Ronnie Corbett on Strictly Come Dancing.

Fans of the show took to social media to criticize the head judge after she gave Katya Jones and Adam Peaty just 25 points for their jive to Me And My Shadow, a song made famous by Corbett and Ronnie Barker.

Many viewers felt that the routine, which included a series of nods to Corbett's famous comedy sketches, deserved a higher score.

One fan wrote: "@bbcstrictly I'm so disappointed that Shirley Ballas undervalued the Ronnie Corbett tribute. It was clear that Katya and Adam put a lot of effort into their routine, and it deserved a higher score."

Another said: "@shirleyballas I'm a huge fan of Strictly, but I was really disappointed with your scoring of Katya and Adam's dance tonight. Their tribute to Ronnie Corbett was brilliant, and they deserved a much higher score."

Ballas has not yet responded to the criticism, but it is clear that her scoring of the dance has not gone down well with fans of the show.

It is worth noting that Ballas is not the only judge to have been criticized for their scoring this season.

Craig Revel Horwood has also been accused of being too harsh, while Bruno Tonioli has been criticized for being too lenient.

However, it is clear that Ballas's scoring of the Ronnie Corbett tribute has particularly angered fans.

This is not the first time that Ballas has been criticized for her judging on Strictly Come Dancing.

In 2018, she was accused of being biased towards certain contestants, and in 2019, she was criticized for her comments about Seann Walsh and Katya Jones's controversial kiss.

Despite the criticism, Ballas remains a popular figure on Strictly Come Dancing. She is known for her technical expertise and her passion for the show.

However, it is clear that her scoring of the Ronnie Corbett tribute has not gone down well with fans.
