Strictly Come Dancing fans amused as Shirley Ballas 'comes dressed as yeti'

Strictly Come Dancing fans took to Twitter to share their amusement over Shirley Ballas' tassle outfit - that some compared to a yeti.

The 62-year-old judge came down the Strictly stairs in a sparkly jumpsuit that was covered in long bejewelled tassles and while some viewers loved the outfit others compared it to a yeti. Some viewers also said the glittery ensemble reminded them of the fluffy Dulux dog.

One viewer said: "Blimey Shirley is cosplaying as a Yeti today!" While another said: "Anyone else think Shirley has come as the yeti from Monsters inc?" A third compared the outfit to a car wash saying: "Shirley’s outfit tonight really be looking like a gold car wash mop."

Meanwhile, other viewers loved the outfit with one saying: "Absolutely love the outfit you had on tonight Shirley. Gorgeous!" Another agreed and said: "Love, love, love it!!! I NEED that outfit. Please send it my way when you're done."

Fans also clocked Strictly host Claudia Winkleman's starry ensemble comparing them to PJ's. One person said: "Respect Claudia for going to work in her jammies," while another said: "Claudia rocking the 'you have to host #BBCStrictly at 7.00pm but be at a sleepover by 8.30pm' tonight."

Week seven marks the halfway point for this year's crop of stars and they all danced their hearts out to stay in the competition. And fans spoke of their excitement following the spooky Halloween week which saw James Bye and Amy Dowden sadly leave the show.
