The show had a spectacular opening in honour of it's return and it included the judges sashaying onto the dance floor.

Shirley, 62, wore a strapless gold metallic gown, and while she looked beautiful, cheeky viewers couldn't help but compare her to popular confectionary.

Taking to Twitter one Strictly fan wrote: "Why does Shirley look like a toffee penny from a box of Quality Street? #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly."

Another added: "Shirley Ballas looks like a toffee penny sweet #Strictly."
