Strictly Come Dancing fans were left in hysterics as the professional dancers took to the BBC dancefloor to perform a routine at the start of the show.
As the show’s professional dancers appeared at the beginning of the results show to a medley of Need You Tonight by INXS and About Damn Time by Lizzo, fans were distracted by a certain wardrobe choice.
The number saw the professionals don red latex costumes, including pairs of incongruous elbow-length gloves – leaving many Strictly fans wondering whether they had just finished the washing up before taking to the dancefloor.
Taking to Twitter as the pros sashayed to the anthem tracks, one fan wrote: “Nice to see the Strictly lads wearing gloves for the washing up after they've finished their dance.”
Another joked: “Them lads on their way to unblock some drains in them gloves,” as a fellow fan chimed: “I hope they’re going to go back and finish that washing-up that they’ve clearly abandoned part way through.”
“The Strictly boys have their washing up gloves on I see. Got a sink full here that won’t fit in the dishwasher,” another joked.
“The Strictly lads in full arm magenta latex gloves, here for it,” another added as one fan asked: “Are the lads about to do the washing up?”
Strictly Come Dancing returned for its second week live on Saturday evening, as the celebrities sashayed onto the dance floor with their professional partners once again.
The 20th series of Strictly is once again being hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, with Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke returning as judges.
The 15 Strictly couples took to the dancefloor for their second performances in front of the judges – with their fate in the public’s hands.
While there was no public vote last week, the pressure was on to get their steps right as the phone lines opened after the show for fans to vote for their favourite routines.
The contestants' scores from last week were carried over to this weekend to be combined with the viewers' votes, with the lowest scoring couples going head to head in the first dance off of 2022.
The judges then decide which couple they would like to save, and in the event of a tie head judge Shirley Ballas is given the casting vote.
None of the duos will want to be the first to leave, but one of them will be waltzing off into the sunset when the results are announced tomorrow evening.
Strictly Come Dancing returns live at 6:30pm on Saturday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
