Josh wrote: ‘Don’t take enough photos at Strictly but here are some of the JOURNEY so far.’ Strictly fans have been left frustrated as producers failed to mix up the trio presenting format for the second and third shows following criticism.Instead of taking heed of fan comments, show bosses instead ploughed ahead with the original plan, leaving Josh and Emma presenting on the floor while Johannes was up in the ‘Clauditorium’.But it seems Josh hasn’t had a smooth sailing time with the judges either, as he was on the receiving end of a very sassy comment from Motsi as she was trying to give her expert feedback to the couples.After Craig gave his rather cutting feedback, Motsi turned to him to say that she actually agreed with what he was saying for once, which led to Craig quipping: ‘Great – we can move on to Shirley [Ballas] then!’Motsi burst out laughing before then replying: ‘Well I have to do my job too!’Josh then jokingly shouted: ‘Shirley!’ as if to skip over Motsi’s feedback like Craig had suggested.Motsi then cheekily remarked to Josh: ‘Well are we going to be friends or enemies, you choose now!’ as the audience and Josh laughed it off.The comment sparked speculation of tensions between the pair, with Motsi recently defending the hosts and the ongoing critique of the show, insisting ‘it already feels like we’re finding our rhythm.’Meanwhile Josh came under fire from another judge as baffled Craig Revel-Horwood asked ‘what are you doing?’ Despite the furore surrounding Josh’s signing, fans are slowly warming up to his presenting style as he joked about his ‘journey’ so far on the show He snapped a selfie with Dani Dyer and the crew while enjoying a coffee in the sunshine Josh wrote: ‘Don’t take enough photos at Strictly but here are some of the JOURNEY so far’Following Dani Dyer and her partner Nikita Kuzmin perfoming a Tango and nervously awaited their feedback.As Craig gave his feedback, Josh appeared to be making strange hand signals at him. Craig immediately asked: ‘What are you doing Josh? What is that?’Josh just laughed while Craig continued with his feedback which echoed that of the other judges.Fans picked up on the awkward moment, and shared on X: ‘Oooooo Craig humiliating Josh on air was’, ‘What are you doing Josh. The question everyone is asking Craig,”I get the feeling even Craig isn’t impressed with Josh,’ ‘Craig says: ‘What are you doing Josh?’ I will just leave that there.’ Meanwhile Strictly pros Janette Manrara and Kai Widdrington have both weighed in on the show’s divisive new presenters.Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail at Pride of Britain Awards, the pair shared their thoughts on the trio.While seasoned pro Emma, 50, has been praised for holding things together during the live shows, Josh has been branded a ‘spare part’ by viewers.However, former pro and It Takes Two host Janette, 42, has now shared her positive thoughts on the new line-up.She said on the red carpet: ‘I feel like there has been so much talk about them and it is the biggest show on telly. Everyone is watching. Everyone is going to have an opinion because the two that were there before were just there for so long.’So I’m so proud of them for doing what they’re doing and coming out on Saturday and doing their absolute best to make it to the best show on TV’s doing a good job.’Kai, 31, then added of his close pal Johannes: ‘Jojo’s one of my best friends, so you know, naturally I’m flying his flag anywhere he goes, whether it’s Strictly, whether it’s Kinky Boots, whatever he’s doing, but I honestly think he’s just done such an amazing job, all three of them.’They’ve really made the celebs feel very much at home and it’s not the easiest thing to do when it’s your first year as well, so I think they’re brilliant.’Of some of the negativity aimed at the new presenting trio he quipped: ‘I genuinely don’t have time to look at that sort of stuff. People have their opinions and I’m just there every week enjoying myself.’
