'Strictly' Harry Judd "filthy" tango causes judges spat
Published Saturday, Nov 12 2011, 22:27 GMT | By Alex Fletcher | 22 comments
McFly's Harry Judd divided the Strictly Come Dancing judges tonight (Saturday) with a "filthy" Argentine tango.
Judd, who was joined in training this week by his bandmates, soared to the top of the leaderboard and picked up two perfect 10s for his routine, but head judge Len Goodman was still not satisfied by his partnership with pro dancer Aliona Vilani.
Goodman, who has been highly critical of the pair in previous weeks, claimed that the duo lacked intensity on the dancefloor.
When fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood disagreed on that point, an angry Goodman fumed: "Don't be such a silly sod!"
Alesha Dixon dismissed Goodman's criticism as the result of "jet lag", angering him further.
Dixon, Horwood and Bruno Tonioli all applauded and gushed praise on Judd for his routine,
"You've never been more attractive," flirted Tonioli.
Horwood added: "It had authority, dominance, command, control. It was filth and I loved it!"
The Strictly results show airs on Sunday at 7.25pm on BBC One.
