Strictly’s Aston Merrygold is blasted as ‘shameful’ by angry viewers

Strictly Come Dancing star Aston Merrygold has left viewers livid after last night's performance, with some calling him 'shameful', 'distasteful' and 'narcissistic',

The 29-year-old former-JLS star performed a stunning sequence with dance partner Janette Manrara to popular song Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. The performance went much better than our extra hour in bed this morning (BECAUSE WE HAD PUT A WASH ON BY 5:30AM) and everyone in the studio was happy. In fact, they came an impressive second on the leaderboard.

However, viewers at home were raging at Aston's earlier VT in which we saw Aston getting into the spirit of things (lol) by practising his dance routine in an ACTUAL GRAVE YARD.

Fans called it 'disrespectful to the dead' as Aston and Janette were seen dancing in a grave yard, for entertainment purposes.

One disgruntled viewer posted on Twitter: "A little insensitive Aston and Janette dancing around peoples graves to practice for tonight!"(sic)

Another wrote, "Have to say I thought that Aston and Janette rehearsing in a cemetery was in extremely poor taste."

Another fumed,"'Aston literally dancing on several graves. Shameless, narcissistic, disrespectful."

Oh dear. What did you make of Aston's rehearsal location? Apt or poor taste? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter, please.

The Strictly Results airs on BBC One at 7.15pm.
