Leigh-Anne Pinnock hits back at trolls in savage response following Strictly performance

Leigh-Anne didn't bite her tongue

Singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock hilariously clapped back at online trolls following her performance on Strictly last night.

The Little Mix star, who is currently embarking on a solo career, performed her single Been A Minute on the hit BBC show’s result show on Sunday (October 19) with some of the Strictly pro dancers.

While many were relieved to see the entertainer back on their screens, Leigh-Anne faced backlash – and she didn’t hold back!

Leigh-Anne Pinnock responds to Strictly backlash

Following her energetic performance, BBC’s Strictly shared a clip to their official Instagram page, where one user wrote: “Oh gods, this was awful!”

Leigh-Anne, who is a mum to twin daughters, caught wind of the comment and hilariously responded: “We all have different definitions of awful… yours just happens to be on your grid, 18th post.”

The 18th post on the user’s page appeared to be a photo of the commenter’s bare feet on a beach.

Meanwhile, Leigh-Anne was seemingly accused of lip syncing, with one fan on X, formerly Twitter, writing: “Leigh-Anne’s vocals are so good that there’s people accusing her of lip syncing.”

The BRIT Award winner replied: “You can HEAR it’s live ffs! Trolls will be trolls.”
