HOLLYOAKS fans were in hysterics at AJ Pritchard's bizarre dance moves on the soap after they mocked his and Curtis' "wooden" acting.

The Strictly star, 26, and his Love Island star brother, 25, are playing Marco and Jacob in the Channel 4 soap.

The pair have their eyes on taking down Trish Minniver - played by Denise Welch - and managed to get a hold of her "black book" in Thursday, May 13's episode.

But fans have ridiculed the scene, which involved AJ doing a dance number in the street before providing the book.

The TikTok video filming the soap has writing over it that says: "What was you thinking Hollyoaks? Maybe the producer was drunk"

The tweet sharing it says: "The Hollyoaks producers are never seeing the gates of heaven for this"

A third said: "Love AJ but this is cringe"

However, not everyone was against the scene, with one person saying: "Can't stop watching these two I hollyoaks. Perfection"

It comes after the dancing duo were ridiculed by fans for their acting.

While some said they were "in love" with the pair already - others reckoned their acting was a little on the wooden side.

One posted a picture of a block of wood writing: "Aw aj & curtis’ first scene was cute."

Another tweeted: "AJ and Curtis must have been Pinocchio in a past life - because their acting are as wooden as a marionette!"

AJ quit Strictly Come Dancing last year to pursue other TV opportunities alongside his younger brother, who found fame on ITV2 dating show Love Island.

After Love Island, where he coupled up with Maura Higgins, he landed a job on the Greatest Dancer, before appearing on Celebs Go Dating and RuPaul’s Drag Race.
