STRICTLY Come Dancing is already in a fix row midway through the launch show.

The complaints from fans come after one of the star’s YEARS of dance experience was revealed.

Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope isn’t just good at acting, because he is an experienced dancer too.

He previously competed in a dancing world championship final three times.

The soap hunk has been dancing since the age of 10-years-old and has appeared on TV before.

Reacting to Lewis’ prior dancing experience, one fan said: “I need lewis to stop pretending he’s not a trained dancer.”

“Another Billy Elliot ex-pro dancer. tut tut,” penned a second.

A third then wrote: “Just give lewis the trophy now. He looks the part without seeing him move.”

While a fourth said: “Lewis is such a natural mover. His theatre experience will really help him as well. He’s definitely making that final I can feel it.”

“How will Lewis Cope on the dancefloor? I reckon he’ll be just fine,” said a fifth.

A sixth then penned: “the way lewis is blatantly gonna win is p***ing me off.”

While a seventh said: “So lewis is a dancer.”

Lewis previously spent eight years in the dance group, Ruff Diamond who were runners up in Sky TV’s Got to Dance competition.

When he was 18-years-old, Lewis found himself performing in front of judges Ashley Banjo, Kimberly Wyatt and Aston Merrygold.

The group also appeared on Children in Need where they danced
with the cast of EastEnders and they were twice voted as UK Hip Hop Champions.

They also represented the UK at the 2013 World Hip Hop Dance Championships in Las Vegas.

Lewis quit Ruff Diamond in 2015 at the age of 20 so he could study at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
