Strictly fans fume after Tess Daly's comment to Helen after her stunning dance

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were feeling irritated after Tess Daly pointed out Helen Skelton's wardrobe blunder.

During the semi-final on Sunday night, Helen and her dance partner Gorka Marquez performed twice, with her first one being a waltz to Celine Dion's Only One Road.

After scoring a 35, Gorka and Helen later returned to the dance floor to perform the Argentine Tango to Eurythmics' Here Comes The Rain.

Unfortunately, the Countryfile presenter suffered a wardrobe malfunction and got her heel caught in her sequin dress.

That didn't stop Helen and Gorka from completing their incredible performance.

Following their dance, Tess pointed out the mishap and said: "Is your dress ok? I know it got caught a little bit in your heel."

Viewers weren't happy she mentioned the wardrobe blunder and took to Twitter to complain about it.

"Why did Terrible Tess find it necessary to point out a costume issue before turning to the judges for Helen’s judge’s comments?" an irritated user questioned.

Others mentioned how they never noticed the tiny blunder, with one user saying: "So annoyed at Tess. The first thing she said was about Helen getting her heel caught. I didn't even notice."

"Me neither," one person responded and another added: "Neither did I."

Gorka and Helen still received a high score of 37, with Craig Revel Horwood giving a nine, Motsi Mabuse giving a 10, Shirley Ballas giving an eight, and Anton Du Beke giving a 10.
