BBC's Strictly viewers distracted over Shayne Ward's 'new look' after exit

Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Shayne Ward stunned fans with a fresh new hairstyle during his appearance on It Takes Two.

The singer, who was recently eliminated from the competition, showed off his stylish locks while sitting on the sofa with his professional partner Nancy Xu.

Shayne's curly hair was slicked back, with a single curl framing his face, and fans couldn't get enough of his new look, reports .

Taking to social media, one fan gushed: "Shayne needs to keep his hair like that it suits him #ItTakesTwo#Strictly#StrictlyComeDancing."

Another agreed, saying: "shayne looks so good with this hairstyle #ItTakesTwo" A third fan commented: "Shayne's hair looks a million times better the way it's styled tonight as opposed to the perm he normally has #StrictlyComeDancing#ItTakesTwo"

However, not everyone was convinced, with one fan joking: "Shayne I love you but I have a bad urge to just tuck that little piece of forehead hair away off your face".

Shayne and Nancy's time on Strictly came to an end after they lost the dance-off to Wynne Evans and Katya Jones.

The couple had performed a rumba to Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time, but it wasn't enough to save them from elimination.

The judges were divided - with Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse choosing to save Shayne and Nancy, while Anton Du Beke cast his vote for Wynne and Katya.

However, it was head judge who had the final say, sending Shayne and Nancy packing from the competition.

But when Fleur East quizzed Shayne on Two's spin-off, It Takes Two, he admitted that as soon as the red light confirmed their dance-off spot on Sunday night (10 November), he sensed "this was it".

Shayne went on to say: "I always get lost in the moment with Nancy. Even though she's shouting all the moves to me, she's so graceful.

"What I loved about it was the song, and I loved the sentiment of the story that we were trying to tell. But more than anything, what stands out for me was the connection we had, not just through that song, but through the whole eight weeks we got to spend together."

An emotional scene unfolded as Shayne and Nancy reminisced over their journey, with Nancy shedding tears for both herself and Shayne on the couch.

Speaking about their exit, Nancy said: "This year, I've found all the contestants, between all of them, they have a really strong connection. Friendship and they supported each other week by week and day by day. So I can't describe the feeling but I was gutted."

It Takes Two continues weekdays on BBC Two from 6:30pm
