Everyone Was Making The Same Joke After Shayne Ward's Strictly Come Dancing Debut

The new series of Strictly Come Dancing really got underway this weekend, with its first live show of the year.

On Saturday night, all 15 couples performed live in the Strictly ballroom for the first time, with JLS star JB Gill and his partner Amy Dowden landing at the top of the leaderboard.

At the other end of the scale was fellow singer Toyah Wilcox, whose Tango routine was less impressive to the judges, earning her just 12 points of a possible 40 from the panel.

However, there was one other contestant who managed to get people talking, albeit for reasons other than his moves.

Third to perform was former chart-topper Shayne Ward, who delivered a Samba routine to Stevie Wonder’s Do I Do.

But while his and professional partner Nancy Xu put on quite the show, his tightly-permed curls were what really captured many viewers’ attention, drawing comparisons to a certain iconic Friends scene…

Meanwhile, Claudia Winkleman’s futuristic outfit also drew some comparisons of its own… 

As ever, no one was eliminated after this week’s Strictly live show.

Instead, the celebs’ scores will be rolled over to next week’s live show, where they’ll be combined with the next round of scores and viewers’ votes to determine which two pairs wind up in the dreaded dance-off.

After that, the judges will have their say in who progresses to Movie Week.

Strictly Come Dancing continues with the second live show of the series on Saturday night on BBC One, with the first contestant leaving the competition in Sunday’s results show.
