Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas announced she has banned a particular dance move for all contestants as her panellist Motsi Mabuse branded her “strict”.
During the highly anticipated Movie Week on the hugely popular BBC One dance competition, comedian Ellie Taylor took to the stage with her professional dance partner Johannes Rabede.
This week the pair performed to The Shoop Shoop song from the legendary film the Mermaids starring none other than Cher herself.

But the dancing duo failed to impress the head judge this week after she put her mistake on blast and banned all contestants from performing a particular dance move on the show for the rest of the series.

As blonde bombshell Tess Daly welcomed on the ballroom beside the judging panel, head judge Shirley Ballas shared her criticisms of Ellie’s routine.
She began: “Well, you’re starting to add things to your basket, you’ve got some twisting actions going on and I like those.
“Your personality is quite infectious today – I thought that was much better.”

It was at this point that the brunette beauty dished out the criticisms as she pointed out that the comic repeatedly performed heel leads.
“What I would like to see moving forward is that things don’t move quite so blocked and when I say blocked I mean where everything moves in one piece. So a little more isolation could be had – shall we say that?
“And also no heel leads! We are going into week three, you’ve got a natural top and the first step of every step was a heel lead so as from today I’m not accepting it.”

But her new rule didn’t just apply to Ellie, as the ballroom queen pointed out that the ban was made for all the contestants on the show moving forward.
She explained: “That goes for everybody else – I am not accepting any heel lead because I know that you’ve been told.
“I love JoJo very much but you’ve got to get your weight and your posture in the right place on a straight foot and give me that leg action – but otherwise some very nice pieces.”
