Anton Du Beke slammed over treatment of Shaun Wright-Phillips
Strictly fans slammed Anton last night for his treatment of Shaun.
When host Emma Willis asked Anton for his thoughts on Shaun’s performance, he replied: “Uh…yeah. There must be something in the water tonight.”

“Yeah, that was me,” Shaun admitted. “Oh, I know it was you, my love,” Anton quipped. “I’m under no illusion that it was you.”
The judge went on to suggest that Shaun had a “great future” in the dance industry “at some point”, before adding: “As soon as you clear up the steps and the timing and the…it’ll all be marvellous!”
Fans weren’t impressed. “I didn’t really like that from Anton. I think Shaun was well aware how bad it was; he didn’t need the whole room laughing at him,” one said.
“I normally like Anton but there was no need for those comments. They were not constructive criticism, just going for a cheap laugh, and not funny. Expected better of @TheAntonDuBeke,” another said.
