Will donned a floral waistcoat and black trousers and began his routine in a cape.

But despite his best attempts, Shirley left some fans furious with her feedback.

Shirley told the Coronation Street star: “Well there were quite a few things missing.

“You have the arrogance part and came out and delivered a strong message. Fantastic. But Pasodoble is very much built on an oval shape and it collapsed every time you picked her up.”

To demonstrate what she meant, Shirley acquired the help of fellow judge Motsi Mabuse.

The 62-year-old continued: “These are basic fundamentals that were missing for me, and when you choose to use a cape at the beginning you have to extend it.

“It can’t feel like it’s a little scarf around your neck.”

Shirley said she “didn’t get a good start from the beginning” but added that she believes Will “gives 100 per cent of his heart.”

Rushing to comment on Shirley’s feedback, one person penned: “What’s Shirley going on about?!”

Another said: “Shirley, Will did well and you were cruel,” and a third added: “Shirley has just torn Will to bits and that was way too harsh.”

A fourth person commented: “Shirley Ballas is a little harsh. Will Mellor’s dance was excellent.”

Will was evidently disheartened as he caught up with show host Claudia Winkleman following the routine.

He apologised to pro partner Nancy, saying: “I feel rubbish to be honest and I’ve worked hard and I’ve let her down a little bit there. I’m not fishing for compliments, she taught me right and I forgot a few fundamentals.”

Will was awarded a total of 32 points in total by the judges, with Shirley giving the star a 7 out of 10.
