Strictly fans horrified as Christmas special star accidentally grabs his partner’s BUM live on TV

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans were shocked after they spotted one of the Christmas special stars accidentally grab his professional dancing partner's bum during the live show.

Show fans dubbed the motion made by Dan Snow at the end of his performance with Nadiya Bychkova a 'Bold Move.'

Strictly's Christmas special, which aired on December 25, gained a fiery response from fans after a two-minute clip of the TV historian and Ukranian dancer performing was uploaded to YouTube. 

The duo were seen jiving to Mariah Carey's hit song All I Want For Christmas, and towards the end of the clip, fans spotted Dan grabbing his partner's bum before it changed to the Strictly logo.

Horrified fans who noticed it quickly took to the comments section and penned down their thoughts. 

One YouTube user wrote: "Dan Snow! He's married, so let's pretend it's an accident - at 1m54s."

Another followed: "Nobody noticed Dan grabbed Nadiya's ass at the end there."

A third added: "Bold move from Dan at 1:53."

The explorer is married to criminologist, philanthropist and prison reformer Lady Edwina Louise Snow, and they share three children together.

The other celebs also included in the Christmas line-up were Sally Nugent and Graziano Di Prima, Danny Cipriani and Jowita Przystał, Tillie Amartey and Neil Jones, Jamie Borthwick and Nancy Xu, and Keisha Buchanan and Gorka Márquez.

The show, which Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman hosted, provided festive fun, frolics and fabulous dancing for everyone in the family to enjoy.

Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Head Judge Shirley Ballas kept an eagle eye on every festive footstep made by the famous contestants. 

At the end of the festive instalment, Eastenders star Jamie, who plays Jay Brown on the BBC soap, and his partner Nancy, 32, were crowned the winners.

The duo triumphed after they impressed the judges with their Quickstep.

Jamie, 29, said he was overcome to have won the Glitterball trophy after he beat the other celebs.

An insider told The Sun that Jamie has now been tipped to take part in the next series of the BBC dancing competition. 

However, the special was nearly ruined for millions of viewers after it was revealed that the results of Strictly Come Dancing's Christmas special had been leaked online before the show even aired.

Within hours of filming the special weeks ago, Strictly's infamous mole shared the news with their followers and came close to spoiling the ultimate surprise.

Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special is available on BBC iPlayer.
