Viewers' backlash against the Strictly siren - PHOTO+VIDEO

The ‘Siberian siren’ and her celebrity dance partner Simon Webbe narrowly avoided elimination from the BBC1 show last night after the voting public punished her for a routine – and an outfit – that left very little to the imagination.A pre-watershed audience of 8.6million had watched Miss Rihanoff, 37, perform a very raunchy rumba on Saturday night, wearing a revealing tasselled leotard and striking a series of lewd poses.Moments before the routine – to Take My Breath Away from the film Top Gun – judge Darcey Bussell urged Mr Webbe to ‘ooze passion’, adding: ‘There has to be a sensual feeling all the way through [a rumba].’ But it seems the pair took the instruction a little too literally.At one point, Miss Rihanoff spread her legs while Mr Webbe, 36, grabbed her thighs from behind.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
