George and Alexis took the floor tonight with their couple’s choice accompanied by Soda Pop from K-Pop Demon Hunters.
The lively hip-hop dance thrilled the audience but viewers spotted a last minute costume change.
Taking to social media one wrote: “Thank GOD the wig changed.”
Another added: “WHYD THEY GET RID OF THE WIG.”
While a third exclaimed: “Not George taking that ugly blue wig off.”
“The fact he said NO WIG for the show,” added another.
Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo praised the dancers and declared: “I am so proud of you because earlier I felt you were not taking yourself as seriously as you could.”
Shirley Ballas agreed and said: “You were flying like an angel.”
However, Anton Du Beke stated: “You came alive…but I thought it lacked a bit of edge.”
Craig Revel Horwood echoed this and said: “It needed to be sharper.”
But Oti Mabuse added: “You’re doing a beautiful job and keep going.”
When the scores came in George and Alexis received 6 points from Criag, 8 from Oti, 9 from Shirley and 8 from Anton giving them a respectable total of 31 points.
Cheers rose from the audience and the adorable pair looked very happy with their scores.
Meanwhile, viewers have branded the show’s latest judge shake-up awkward after a baffling decision.

Cynthia has spent the week working with the celebrities and their partners to help them with their performance and offering up her advice during their training.
However, when the live show kicked off, hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman confirmed that despite the huge hype surrounding Cynthia being on the panel, the actress was barred from scoring the couples.
As she wasn’t allowed a paddle to mark the pairs, Cynthia found herself sitting awkwardly among the judging panel as the other four judges offered up their scores.
It left fans at home begging the BBC to let Cynthia have a paddle last-minute after branding her inclusion on the panel “awkward”.
