Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke refused to talk about Dr Punam Krishan's dance tonight - as he got totally distracted by Gorka's bare chest. The duo had taken to the dance floor with a lively jive to Lizzo's 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready).

But they didn't receive the same reaction as their Bollywood dance last week as Craig said it was 'sloppy, messy, full of mistakes'. Motsi commented that the 'pressure got to you after last week' as she said there were 'quite a few mistakes'.

Anton, much like viewers watching at home, only had words about Gorka's outfit, revealing he didn't want to talk about the dance. He said: "I was watching you dance and I thought to myself 'I've got a shirt like that'. It doesn't quite look the same on me as on you, Gorks."

He added: "They're right about what they say so I thought I wouldn't really talk about it. I thought I'd talk about something else. I tied my own tie you know, and I think it's gone rather well. I look forward to seeing you next week."

Gorka leaped to the defense of his partner, insisting: "She's a GP. She doesn't do anything to do with performing!"But they received just 20 points out of 40 from the judges, including a painful 4 from Craig.

Viewers also only had eyes for Gorka and took to X to comment. One wrote: "Anton just talking about Gorka's shirt than the dance. Anton is just chaotic tonight and I bloody love it."

"I wasn’t watching Dr Punam, my eyes were on Gorka and his chest. #Strictly," one said. "Whoever is in charge of Gorka's wardrobe is definitely having fun in this series.... Thank you," another fan commented.

And a fourth added: "Gorka bringing back the open shirt and shiny pants whenever they might be in a bit of danger ... and I LOVE HIM FOR THAT."
