Strictly fans horrified as Mike almost drops Katya during ‘human lasso’ lift
Strictly Come dancing fans were left "cringing so hard" this evening over Mike Bushell's cowboy-style American Smooth.
But more than that, they were left fearing for Katya's safety as Mike almost seemed to drop her during their 'human lasso' lift.
The BBC presenter wore a canary yellow cowboy outfit as he "yehawed", drank fake shots and even turned partner Katya into a human "lassoo".
But the judges winced, with Craig simply remarking that it was "odd, very very odd".
And viewers could barely watch either.
One tweeted: "Mike Bushell on #Strictly When its so awkward, you just dont know where to look…!"
While another commented: "Had to vote for Mike and Katya in the end, despite my fears for their personal safety. #Strictly."
A third remarked: "Mike dropped her but she styled it out! Awful outfit, bizarre routine & the song isn't suited to an American Smooth #Strictly."
