Strictly Come Dancing viewers have called on Paul Merson to be eliminated from the show for some of the "worst dancing" ever seen.
This comes after the show made a triumphant comeback last week, seeing a whole host of famous faces compete to claim that Glitterball Trophy.
Celebrities like Chris McCausland, Pete Wicks and Toyah Willcox are competing in the 2024 edition of the show.
Strictly fans call for Paul Merson to be eliminated after 'terrible' dancing
Fans were quick to take to X, formerly Twitter, to express their thoughts about his Salsa to Fireball by Pitbull with one user writing: "Some of the worst dancing I've ever seen and I absolutely loved every minute."
Another joked: "Dad dancing at its best there."
A third said: "I broke my toe about 12 years ago, and that was less painful than that 'salsa'," while a fourth added: "Making paul merson into the comedic dancer I see..."
Another compared him to furniture, writing: "He was more wooden than my coffee table."
One user called for him to be eliminated, telling others: "Can we all agree Paul needs to go home."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
