Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left feeling “bad” at one particular moment on Saturday night’s show.
The BBC’s Latin and ballroom dance show has just entered its second week of its 20th anniversary year, and things seemed to be going swimmingly until judge Craig Revel Horwood made a certain comment.
Just before Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri and her professional partner Aljaž Škorjanec performed their Viennese waltz, Craig chatted to presenter Tess Daly about the couple’s previous dance.
Tess said: “There’s really only one way to describe our social media star, isn’t there Craig?”
Craig replied: ‘Skibidi rizz darling. Ski-bi-di rizz!
Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left feeling unwell at one particular moment on Saturday night’s show.
Tess seemed to have no idea what the term meant, as she presented the contestants’ VT in rehearsals.

According urban dictionarythe phrase is “he’s second-highest at Rizz,” a diminutive Gen Z version of the word “charisma.”
Other definitions include “charisma shown by a man toward a woman” at the beginning of a match, while the entire term appears to be simply a meaningless joke.
But viewers were left unimpressed with the show’s apparent attempt to appeal to the younger members of its audience, as they flooded social media with reactions.
One viewer wrote on X/Twitter: ‘This is the worst thing the show has ever done. Generation Z just turned to dust.#scd #strictly’
Another fumed: ‘my poor grandma loves strictly but she’s sick and has enough to deal with without having to hear tess daley say skibidi rizz’ (sic)
A third dramatically declared: ‘craig saying skibidi rizz is strictly the worst thing that can happen to this society’ (sic)
A fourth said: ‘First we went modest, now we got skibidi rizz… What the f*** is going on strictly? This is literally them.

Tasha Ghouri left her father Tarek in tears when she topped the leaderboard and made history after scoring the highest score ever for a Viennese waltz in week two on Saturday.
Anton Du Beke gushed that he “couldn’t find anything wrong” with the performance, while Motsi Mabuse agreed: “That was the best dance of the night!” I absolutely loved it!’

Once the moment had passed, Tasha left her father Tarek in tears when she topped the leaderboard and made history after achieving the highest score ever achieved for a Viennese waltz.
Anton Du Beke gushed that he “couldn’t find anything wrong” with the performance, while Motsi Mabuse agreed: “That was the best dance of the night!” I absolutely loved it!’
Tasha’s father, who was sitting in the audience, seemed visibly emotional as his daughter also fought back tears following the response.
As she prepared to listen to her scores, host Claudia Winkleman said, “What made it most emotional was seeing your dad, sobbing, looking at you.”
