Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left ‘feeling sick’ at a certain moment on Friday night’s show.
The BBC Latin and dancehall show has entered its second week of its 20th anniversary, and it’s been that way until judge Craig Revel Horwood made a specific comment.
Before Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri and her professional partner Aljaž Škorjanec to perform the Viennese Waltz, Craig chatted with host Tess Daly about the pair’s previous dance.
Tess said: ‘There’s only one way to describe our social media star, isn’t there, Craig?’
Craig replied: ‘Skibidi rizz, Darling. Ski-bi-di rizz!’

According to Urban Dictionary, the phrase is ‘the second highest level of Rizz’, a diminutive version of the Gen-Z word ‘charisma’.
Other definitions include ‘the charisma a man displays to a woman’ at the start of a conversation, while the term appears to be nothing more than a silly joke.
But viewers were not impressed with the show’s apparent attempt to appeal to a younger audience as they flooded social media with reactions.
One viewer wrote on X/Twitter: ‘This is the worst show I’ve ever been to. Gen Z is just dust. #scd #strictly’
Another fumed: ‘Poor grandma loves it so much but she’s sick and has had enough to argue with without having to hear tess daley say skibidi rizz’ (sic)
A third dramatically stated: ‘craig said skibidi rizz unequivocally is the worst thing to happen to this society’ (sic)
A fourth said: ‘First we were rude, now we got skibidi rizz… What are they doing strictly? This is literally her rn’

Tasha Ghouri left her father Tarek in tears as she topped the leaderboard and made history after scoring the highest score for the Viennese Waltz in week two on Saturday.
Anton Du Beke said he ‘couldn’t find anything bad’ in the performance, while Motsi Mabuse agreed: ‘It was the best dance of the night! I really like it!’

After the moment had passed, Tasha left her father Tarek in tears as she took the leaderboard and made history after getting the highest score for the Viennese waltz.
Anton Du Beke said he ‘couldn’t find anything bad’ about the performance, while Motsi Mabuse agreed: ‘It was the best dance of the night! I really like it!’.
Tasha’s father, who was sitting in the audience, was visibly emotional as his daughter also struggled to hold back tears after the response.
When preparing to listen to the score the host Claudia Winkleman said: ‘What makes it more emotional watching your father, sobbing, watching you’.
