Strictly Come Dancing guest judge Cynthia Erivo has addressed critics after standing in for Motsi Mabuse over the weekend.
The 34-year-old actress and singer returned to the panel on Saturday (November 27) after previously replacing Craig Revel Horwood.
However, Cynthia appeared to divide some Strictly viewers at home.
Strictly judge Cynthia Erivo
Taking to social media yesterday (November 28), Cynthia posted a series of fan comments following her second live show.
The first complimented the star on the panel, saying: “Love love love you on Strictly, thank you for giving some excellent critiques.”
However, the second wasn’t as positive.
Please never judge on Strictly again
The second note read: “Please never judge on Strictly again. Ruined 2 weeks in a row with your horrendous scoring.”
And the comment didn’t go unnoticed with Cynthia.
Sharing her thoughts, she poked fun: “@BBC STRICTLY SPLITTING OPINIONS!!!”
Meanwhile, Cynthia received plenty of other supportive messages online.
Following the main show on Saturday, many took to Twitter to praise the musical star.
“Can we keep Cynthia as a fifth judge? Love her! #Strictly,” one posted.

Just caught up on Strictly. I love Cynthia Erivo but how in the heck did she rank Dan above AJ? Last night was the most inconsistent scoring yet #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing

One complained: “Nope get Cynthia off here as a stand-in judge, 8 for AJ, 9 for Dan? #Strictly.”
A second asked: “Can Claudia ask Cynthia why she marked Dan higher than AJ #Strictly.”
