Strictly Come Dancing fans were left frustrated as they urged producers to axe a specific segment from It Takes Two.
Fleur East was back presenting the latest episode of the Strictly spin-off programme on Tuesday (November 11) evening.
The presenter welcomed several Strictly contestants alongside their professional dance partners to chat about their forthcoming routines.
Guests on the programme included Ru Paul’s Drag Race star La Voix with Aljaz Skorjanec, Emmerdale actors Lewis Cope with Katya Jones, and football legend Karen Carney with Carlos Gu.
But it was one particular moment that sparked conversation when Fleur unveiled the tracks the remaining celebrities will perform to on Saturday evening, reports Wales Online.

The presenter made the reveal during a feature called ‘Top of the Bops’. Fleur began by saying: “Welcome to It Takes Twos’ Top of the Bops. Tonight we will be announcing the songs that our couples will be dancing to on Saturday.”
She went on: “So in no particular order here is this week’s top eight. Straight in at eight, Lewis is hoping that his Tango to 12 to 12 by New York musician Somer will be right up your fifth avenue.
“At seven, Vicky will be dancing to Girls Aloud debut single and number one hit Sound Of The Underground and after topping the leader board, she is hoping for something kinda ooh with this Jive.”

“And claiming that number one spot is Bavinder and Julian, who will be dancing the American Smooth to My Guy by Mary Wells.”
Those watching from home aren’t impressed with the segment, and quickly took to social media to express their views.
One viewer posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Top of the Bops doesn’t work. Please ditch it!” Another added: “Please get rid of Top of the Bops – it’s cr**. #ItTakesTwo.”
Meanwhile, one fan expressed their enjoyment of the show, stating: “What a great #ItTakesTwo tonight. I love that Lewis and Katya aren’t doing any tricks in their tango and making it just about their connection. #Strictly.”
