Yet in his comments, Craig labelled the performance as being "a bit too perfect".

His comments earned an eye roll from fellow judges with Motsi Mabuse exclaiming: "We used to celebrate too perfect!"

However it also irritated viewers at home, as one wrote on X: "It was a bit TOO perfect' - oh shut the hell up Craig, no pleasing him. He constantly bitches about imperfections and then complains because there aren't any. Being a twat for the sake of it."

Another shared: "'Too perfect”'and he still can’t find his 10 paddle. You’re not even funny Craig."

"craig taking a point off sarah for being too perfect reminds me of when he didn’t give ashley roberts a 10 because she didn’t breathe enough in her contemporary dance," raged another.

A fourth shared: ""A little TOO perfect". Craig is THAT choreographer/director/producer... to be insulted is better than being ignored."

"Not getting 40 for being ‘too perfect’ is a new low, even for craig," vented another.

Another irked viewer added: "Sarah should have just got the first 40 but no… Craig gives a 9 because it was ‘a little too perfect."

After the judges comments, Sarah quipped back at Craig: "“I know you did dance to Padam as well, so I hope there wasn’t any rivalry there?";

Despite Craig's comments, other judges called it "iconic" and the pair were awarded 39 out of 40 for the performance, with Craig the only judge not awarding the pair a 10.
