Strictly Come Dancing fans were left in hysterics during Sunday night’s instalment of the hit BBC dance competition as a cheeky “third dancer” joined one couple on the dance floor.
Fans tuned in to watch the nail-biting dance off between Tilly Ramsey accompanied by her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin and CBBC star Rhys Stephenson and his partner Nancy Xu.
But it appears as though many were more interested in the third person dancing with the cookery couple as Nikita’s shirt put on quite the performance during their final routine.
The pro dancer whipped off his shirt during the routine in a bid to fight for their chance to return for the quarter finals.
But their dance quickly took a turn for the worse as the brightly-coloured shirt got stuck on his microphone and followed the pair around the dance floor.
And it’s fair to say fans were left in hysterics as they watched the embarrassing moment as viewers joked the loud garment should be offered a spot on the show after appearing to have a life all of its own.
While the show’s youngest couple fiercely fought for their chance to stay on the popular dance show, Strictly fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the couple’s surprising “third dancer”.
One user penned: “Ooh, after that dance off, behind the scenes gossip that #Nikitas shirt is being offered a role as one of the pros on next year’s.”
Another fan quipped: “After debuting on #Strictly, Nikita’s shirt embarked on a successful dance career, performing with many well-known artists … #NikitasShirt.”
“Nikita’s shirt that got caught on the microphone wire or whatever it got caught on danced better than Tilly did,” one salty fan of the show noted.
Elsewhere, another fan of the show tweeted: “I’m surprised that no judge said, ‘There were 3 people in this relationship’ as Nikita’s shirt took on a life of its own!”
A fourth fan joked: “Petition for Nikita’s shirt to win a BAFTA,” as another chimed in with: “Nikita’s shirt was like an excited puppy joining in saying ‘I dance too?’”
