Strictly Come Dancing's Will Bayley has questioned Craig Revel Horwood's feedback that he was "stiff".
The Paralympian was forced to pull out of the show after tearing a ligament in his knee during rehearsals earlier this week, and has since been reflecting on his time in the dancing competition.
Hitting back at Craig's criticism, Will told The Sun that although most of his comments were fair, he was baffled when the judge told him he was "too stiff".
"Craig said things to me like I should be improving, and I should have, but he also said I was too stiff," Will explained. "I mean I have no idea how I'm supposed to do that – I don't have any ankles, so obviously I can't do rise and fall."

However, Will, who missed last week's Halloween special, insisted that he "didn't want special treatment" on the show and "appreciated" that the judges had marked him "like everyone else".
"They said some really positive comments, but they weren't scared to criticise me," he said. "I was thinking sometimes with the stiff comments, I have no idea how I can do that.
“But Craig is harsh with everyone, and I didn't want them to feel sorry for me and think, 'Oh we'll give him a 10'."

Opening up about his injury on yesterday's (October 30) It Takes Two, Will told fans that his disability, a condition called arthrogryposis, had nothing to do with his early departure from the series.
"I just want people to know that it's not because I have a disability, I don't want people to be put off dancing, it can happen to anyone, it's just unlucky," he said.
Strictly Come Dancing 2019 continues on Saturday (November 2) at 7pm on BBC One.
