Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tyler West failed to make the audience 'gasp' with his latest performance on the Saturday night dance show according to body language expert Judi James.
Viewers of the BBC show tuned in to see the DJ and his professional dance partner perform a fiery Paso Doble with some fans and even a judge even commenting his bare chest left them 'distracted'.
Judge Motsi Mabuse gasped: "You've got nothing on!" And Anton Du Beke joked: "To think I nearly wore the very same outfit."
But, in her exclusive Mirror column, Judi explains why Tyler's dance failed to offer the audience those romantic 'moments' that make couples storm the leaderboard...
Tyler was an early show-stopper on Strictly but this week he has stalled badly and it is mainly down to his body language signals or lack of them.
Craig found his dance ‘square, placed and boxy’ but what Tyler really lacks to power him through to the next stages of the competition is sensuality.
Viewers switch on for the romance and the sexuality of the routines as much as the footwork and the fun.
Tyler has clearly nailed his dance moves but where are the ‘moments’ with Dianne that should have the fans gasping?
Tyler is enjoying himself and he is clearly a nice guy but he needs to produce some of those signals of the agony of acute passion that Giovanni would do with one small raise of an eyebrow. It should be all about the eye contact and the lingering looks with Dianne.
Good dancers will create signals of intimacy that make it look as though they are the only people in the room and create a whole love story of anguish and fire with just a few breathless moments before they break apart at the end of the routine.
Tyler has yet to get into role as a romantic lead. Looks are irrelevant, it’s the acting that counts and he needs to lose some inhibitions and get stuck in because this is the driest season yet when it comes to the famous Strictly sizzle.
