James Jordan questioned the Strictly Come Dancing result on Sunday night, after firing a thinly veiled dig at the pro dancers over the group number that opened the show.
James was a popular member of the Strictly family for years, partnering the likes of Denise Van Outen and Pamela Stephenson in the ballroom. Since leaving the show he has gone onto star in Celebrity Big Brother and The Real Full Monty and he hasn't held back when it comes to the programme that shot him to TV fame in the mid-00s.
Many Strictly fans keep an eye on James' Twitter on a Saturday as he gives his verdicts and scores on each couple. And, while he otherwise engaged on Saturday, as wife Ola turned 40, he was back online to deliver his critiques on what unfolded in the first results show of Strictly's new series.

And he wasted little no time in taking aim at the opening group number which mashed INXS classic Need You Tonight with Lizzo smash It's About Time, with a routine that was a far departure from the group routines James and Ola were involved in during their time on the show. Taking to Twitter, James wrote: "Oh my how Strictly has changed."
As many of his Strictly related posts often do, James' tweet quickly got plenty of reaction, with one replying: "I was thinking that... no more ballroom or Latin pro numbers," to which James quipped: "I’m more interested in where they got all the washing up gloves from and are they made from recyclable plastic?"
James has criticised Strictly pro dance numbers online before and right at the start of the new series, called out the decision not to give pro Neil Jones a celeb partner.
He also took exception to the Strictly result, which saw Kaye Adams and Kai Widdrington go home, after Craig Revel-Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all opted to save Matt Goss in the Dance Off. Head judge Shirley Ballas said she disagreed with her colleagues but, by that point, the outcome was already dome and dusted.
Reacting to the result, James tweeted: "Nooooooooo!!!! Kai!!! What’s just happened," with his take on things echoed by the opinions of many of his followers.
