For week two of the BBC One dance contest, Dr Punam brought the "sass" to her foxtrot to Shania Twain’s hit Man! I Feel Like A Woman! with her partner Gorka, who was clad in a black see-through top and black PVC trousers.

But Strictly viewers were left fearing for the couple due to their position in the running order of week two of the 2024 series, while also being distracted by Gorka's outfit and claiming it may have been an intentional move.
