Bobby Brazier picked up some of the best critiques of the night for his Movie Week performance with Strictly Come Dancing pro Dianne Buswell, but fans were still left confused.
The 20-year-old actor and model was given four eights from the judges, a total of 32 out of a possible 40, but many believed his Samba was underscored.
The EastEnders star danced to the song "Young Hearts Run Free," inspired by the 1996 movie Romeo + Juliet, and many Strictly fans were of the opinion that the routine should've topped the leaderboard.
One fan took to Instagram to comment: "Seriously undermarked and I never say that lightly, he was so good," while another added: "Very undermarked. Marking and comments don't match up, they didn't give him one negative comment or anything to work on. It was [the most] amazing dance of the night for me."
A third wrote: "Confused as to how they weren't given a single negative comment yet just got 8's???" and a fourth also added: "Bobby deserved a 10!! This kid is just loving life, well done Bobby!"
Many also complimented Dianne's brunette locks for the performance (inspired by Claire Danes' look in the original film) and Bobby's resemblance to a young Mick Jagger.
As for the judges' comments, Shirley Ballas claimed he "brought the party" with his dance, and was most surprised by what she called the "rhythm in his pelvis." Craig Revel Horwood said Bobby made the routine look "natural," before delivering a signature "A-Ma-Zing," with Motsi Mabuse also adding onto the praise.
