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."

Earlier, Anneka Rice burst into tears after hearing the judges comments.

The legendary TV presenter, 60, wowed the judges this evening with an elegant Waltz.

After receiving amazing scores, she couldn't keep it in this evening while she was talking to Claudia Winkeman.

Strictly returned tonight for more sexy Sambas, sizzling Sambas and wooden Waltzs.

Hoping to impress again tonight were Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse, who soared to the top of the leaderboard after their jaw-dropping Samba, scoring an impressive 32.

This evening they will perfoem a Waltz to What the World Needs Now by Burt Bacharach.

Close behind them last week was Karim and Amy, who wowed with their Cha Cha and won 31 from the judges.

Trailing at the bottom after week 1 was James Cracknell, who was awarded just 11 for his Tango.

A few points above him was Chris Ramsey, who scored only 13 points for his awkward Cha Cha.

Sadly, James and Luba are the favourite couple to leave the competition tonight after their performance last week, but it could all change tonight…
