Viewers of Strictly Come Dancing have been divided by a big change in the show in the past two weeks after the lockdown was partially lifted in some areas of the country.
The show had made several changes to ensure it could continue this year, with contestants and their professional partners bubbling together, and regular Covid testing.
And for several weeks, the show banned live audiences and the dancers had to perform in an empty studio, when the blocking measures took action again.
But the audience has since returned and consisted of the contestant’s family and friends, as well as NHS workers who received tickets to thank their hard work.
Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman introduced the audience on Saturday night, as Tess put it: “We are delighted to welcome our socially distanced studio audience of domestic bubbles and wonderful NHS workers.”
But viewers were at war over whether or not the audience was lost, as they are known to clap out of time and some of them can be loud.
One viewer tweeted: “I think I preferred it without the audience and all their unnecessary yelling and screaming during the performance. #Strictly “.
Another agreed: “5 minutes and I’m done with the audience.”
Another added: “I definitely haven’t missed the screaming audience #Strictly “and” I have not missed the noise of the hearing #strictly “.
But others were delighted to hear the audience return, as one wrote: “It is so nice to see an audience, albeit small and socially distant in the #Strictly study. Hopefully next year the place will be full and full of life again. ”
“It’s lovely to see and hear some members of the audience,” wrote another.
* Strictly Come Dancing airs tonight at 7:30 pm on BBC One
