Shirley Ballas left Strictly Come Dancing viewers distracted last night with her outfit choice for Blackpool.
Last night’s show saw the remaining couples dance in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
The judges dressed for the occasion, of course, but Shirley‘s outfit caught the attention of many watching.

The head judge wore a stunning, gold dress by designer Zandra Rhodes.
However, thanks to the design, many viewers compared Shirley’s gown to a sweet wrapper or a Christmas cracker!
One person said on Twitter: “Knew I’d seen Shirley’s dress before,” alongside a photo of the gold Roses chocolates.
Another wrote: “Shirley’s dress looks like a Christmas cracker.”
A third added: “Helen [Skelton] is fantastic but getting distracted by Shirley’s Ferrero Rocher outfit.”
Another tweeted: “Shirley is dressed as a Ferrero Rocher wrapper.”
Shirley’s fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood even playfully poked fun at her outfit choice.
He said: “Shirley, sit down with your little lampshade outfit.”

Shirley shared photos of her outfit on Instagram, writing: “I’m ready for Blackpool! Tune in now @bbcstrictly on BBC One.
“The atmosphere in the ballroom is electric. The couples are so excited to get on the floor. Enjoy the show, vote for your favourites and let me know what you think.”
Many of Shirley’s fans gushed over her look as one commented: “You look beautiful. You and Motsi [Mabuse] are the reason I watch. Love you ladies.”
Another wrote: “Fabulous! You always look so poised and elegant.”
A third added: “Shirley you look amazing!!! That looks like Zandra Rhodes magic.”
Meanwhile, someone else said: “Loved the opening..and love to see the judges dancing. You still got it!”
During last night’s show, Fleur East bagged the perfect score as all the judges awarded her 10s.
