Viewers left baffled over The Greatest Dancer and brand receptionist ‘creepy’

The Greatest Dancer left a little confused tonight as they tried to warm to the concept of the new BBC show.

Some fans of the show were left baffled as they struggled to understand what was going on.

This evening, various acts had to perform in a dance studio behind a mirror while judges Cheryl, Oti Mabuse and Matthew Morrison watched on.

But rather than the judges voting them through, it was up to the audience to make the final decision as to whether they would go through to the next round.

The process has already sparked frustration for Cheryl over the audiences "wrong decisions".

She said: "One of the most memorable acts was a locker and popper.

"It’s a shame because despite his amazing technique, I don’t think the performance resonated with the audience. It was frustrating because all the Dance Captains thought it was a really strong performance, but the audience didn’t press their buttons.

"The mirror didn’t open and that was one moment when I was like, come on guys press your buttons, seriously you don’t know what we’re losing out on here.

But she accepted that it very much comes with the territory.

"The great thing about The Greatest Dancer is that the audience hold the power," Cheryl adds.

"The auditionee will come into the room and they will be facing what looks like a mirror. They will audition to the mirror but behind the mirror will be us three Dance Captains and the audience too.

"They will perform and if the audience likes them and 75 per cent press ‘yes’ on their keypads, it lights up the room and the mirrors open to reveal the audience."

*The Greatest Dancer airs Saturdays at 8pm on BBC One
