Strictly Come Dancing has started with the second week being movie themed with all of the celebrities taking on a film for their dances.
John Nellis, a football content creator, was the first celebrity to tackle the couple’s choice of the series.
John, alongside his professional partner Katya, used Titanic for their couple’s choice and the dance left fans divided over the performance.
After topping the leaderboard last week with a score of 31, John and Katya scored a slightly lower 23.
Fans are divided over the first couple’s choice dance of the series
Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on John’s dance.
One person said: “Oh this might be one on the worst couples choices ever seen i’m afraid… just stomping around out of time.”
Another person said: “This looks soooooo messy !!!!!! So clunky.”

A third person said: “couples choice felt oddly slow for the music…”
Other people seemed to enjoy the dance more with one person writing: “katya’s choreography never fails to amaze me every time.”
Another person said: “I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS!
“As the biggest Ireland/Irish fan this has filled my heart with so much joy!”
The judges also seemed divided over the dance with Anton Du Beke enjoying it while Craig Revel Horwood said John lacked a “spring in his step” and called the ending “an entire tragedy”.
Both Anton and Shirley Ballas gave John a seven compared to Motsi’s five and Craig’s four.
How much do the Strictly hosts get paid?
No information has been officially released on what the Strictly hosts are being paid or whether they are being paid the same figure.
Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly earned an estimated £150,000 for each series they hosted, according to The Express.
Due to being new hosts of Strictly Come Dancing, it is possible the three hosts will be earning less than that figure for an entire series.
When are the live shows and when is the Strictly final?
The live shows start on Saturday, September 26 and will air every Saturday until December 19 — the final weekend before Christmas.
