Apparently, people are saying he is too confident, cocky etc . He is just dancing the way it should be done …

[MillieBristow]

Not quite convinced by the scores on this. This was actually very good! I mean his hands may need work but I mean it’s only week 1 after all! ✨ excited for whatever else they have in store! 🌸

Fabulous performance by Shayne and Nancy. Fabulous performance by Jamie Squire and the Strictly Band too!

I swear if he goes home early like he did on Dancing On Ice, I will riot. His potential is amazing

[wendybilton]

I really like him and his style of dancing. I hope Shirley likes him too because I think out of all the judges, it’s her comments that count the most! Well, it is for me lol.
I’m really glad & can’t wait to see what he does! Nice bit of eye candy 🍭 too 😂

Shane Ward ❤❤❤❤ We all love you Xxx

score - *7*
actually thought Shayne did really well and underappeciated for sure, Samba is so hard on week 1 and he brought the 70's vibes, disco and party to the dancefloor with 0 hesitation, some of it looked really natural and rythmical, other bits looked messy but I really like this partnership, their nice to watch and I think Shayne is going to push and push himself throughout the weeks, Nancy is great with routines as well so they could be dark horses imo, watch this space :)

[daneshadaniels]

Love it ❤
Well Done Nancy the Choreography 👏

[Molliesvlogs]

I agree with Craig that he will do a great Salsa. I think it was undermarked and the moves were great. My score 7/10

[Shazbut]

It's such a good song that he could have laid on the floor and flopped around like a walrus and I'd have still loved it

[Tammy.]

Very good. Loved this dance! things to improve but amazing for Week 1. 7/10

It was very good for Shane! I don't know why Nancy didnt put more Samba elements in the dance routine!

[vickirenton]

He's giving me Danny Mac vibes and he was incredible

[bessieburnet]

Oh, that was quite alright! Not as good as I thought it could be, but far from as bad as I thought it could be. I'd say it is a perfect amateur Samba. There were some fumbles, but he's a beginner. Great personality. Confidence, swagger, and great chemistry with Nancy too. I can see where Craig's criticisms came from, but I felt that was a tad exaggerated.

Those naysayers are nust jealous misery-guts. Shayne is doing a great job. Using his acting, focus and even his 'pretend' confidence is work7ng. While his stomach is nervous, he's putting all into it with a smile. Bravo Shayne, you are doing really well. Just have fun too. We couldn't do what you're doing. Scr*w the miseries. Proud of you.❤

[ravenclawrumba]

It did have a salsa feel but you could easily tell that it was a samba. I enjoyed it he will definitely go far and quite undermarked. 6/10

[mellybeetaylor]

Not a bad performance! There is potential there!
