After sailing straight to the top of the leaderboard with a highly passionate paso doble, the Casualty actor, 50, took the dancefloor for the second time.
This time, Nigel and Katya Jones wowed the judges with a Viennese Waltz, but not everyone was satisfied.
‘Graceful arms and a lovely connection together,’ Shirley began, before continuing with some heavy criticism.
‘Too much bumping up and down for me, and too many technical errors.’
The crowd weren’t too happy though, booing her commentary, leading to Shirley’s sassy reply: ‘Well you might learn something so hold on a minute!’
Shirley’s colleagues judges strongly disagreed, and it wasn’t only the live audience who weren’t impressed.
Anton Du Beke quipped: ‘I’ve had lessons like that in the past!’
Craig wasn’t so agreeable though, as he pointed at Shirley repeating: ‘Picky, picky, picky.’
He went on: ‘All those technical issues which I know you will be able to fix next week quite easily because you have the ability, my darling.
‘You are a fantastic dancer. You have the ability to draw people into the dance.’
He concluded: ‘I say well done!’
Motsi Mabuse stunned herself when she found herself agreeing with Craig, adding: ‘I ask myself, I have to agree with Craig, what happened over there?’
And it seems like viewers were on their side too, with one saying: ‘Shirley is being harsh.’
Another penned: ‘Shirley being so harsh to Nigel that even Craig had to jump in and defend him.’
