Strictly fans rage as technical blunders ‘ruin’ Blackpool special

STRICTLY fans were left raging after a number of technical blunders 'ruined' tonight's Blackpool special.

This evening's instalment of the BBC dance show returned to Blackpool Tower Ballroom at the seaside resort.

Viewers were over the moon that the competition has finally returned to Blackpool after three years.

However many took to Twitter to share their annoyance over the camerawork.

One said: "The camera man is having a mare, ain't he! #Strictly."

Another added: "What's up with the camera work? #Strictly It's making me feel nauseous."

A third chimed: "Camera work on #Strictly making me travel sick."

A fourth tweeted: "Omg the camera angles are horrific tonight! They keep missing the important steps, showing half of the bodies and are too far away at times."

"Forget scoring the dances, the camera work is getting a bloody 1 from me! Jeez what is happening,"; a fifth added.

During Ellie Taylor and Johannes Radebe's performance, there was a number of slip-ups, including filming her getting into a harness as she was slowly lifted into the air.

While others have said that they focused more on the backing dancers, rather than the celebs.

Some had the same complaint about Shirley Ballas' outfit tonight.

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."
