Strictly Come Dancing judges' cheeky comments to Alex and Neil cause stir

Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse shared a few cheeky comments on tonight's (November 23) episode of Strictly Come Dancing.

Let's rephrase that – Craig and Motsi offered a bit of technical feedback and the filth-seekers came crawling (head judge Shirley Ballas included).

It all started with professional dancer Neil Jones and his celebrity partner Alex Scott being told they were "too tense downstairs" by Craig after their performance of the Argentine Tango.

This caused a quick response from fellow judge Motsi, who jokingly counteracted with "it's all about staying tight downstairs", before she elaborated on this specific Tango's algorithm.

Although Neil and Alex did well to keep straight faces throughout this whole exchange, Shirley could be seen shaking her head with a big grin on her face, as the audience joined in with howls of laughter.

The Twitter community weren't far behind either, with a whole host of viewers sharing their thoughts on Motsi and Craig's comments.

"Oh god less of the downstairs discussion!" one user wrote, while another shared: "'You need to be tight downstairs.' Cue childish giggling."
