Strictly's Anton Du Beke gives Shayne Ward stern warning after ...

Strictly Come Dancing's Shayne Ward came under scrutiny following his first performance but received important advice from the show's judge Anton Du Beke on Saturday night.

Anton dished out some serious guidance after Shayne and Nancy Xu delivered a passionate tango to The Door by Teddy Swims: "I want you to listen to this, I want you to concentrate. I want you to evolve yourself into the dance, it's about the dance."

The judge continued, emphasising the need for commitment to the dance: "I, at the moment, don't want to know about you, at the moment. I will do later, right now I want you to be in the dance and when you do that, you get this because it's intense, it's together, you're in beautiful harmony."

He went further, highlighting the potential within Shayne: "The music is part of the whole production as well and it's a complete bit. I want you to focus on that because moving forward, you can be a real powerhouse in this competition."

Craig Revel Horwood concurred with Anton: "I completely agree with Anton, you are the one to watch", reports the Express.

Shayne appeared to take the advice to heart as he scored a respectable 31 points, showing considerable improvement since the beginning.
