The performance achieved an overall score of 21 from judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke.
But it was Craig’s low score of four that got viewers talking on social media – with some accusing him of “not liking” Punam.
Craig told Punam and Gorka: “I thought it was a little bit too social, like you were just going for a stroll in the park without a care in the world.
“It’s true. It lacked musicality, it lacked energy.”
One viewer commented: “Recently he’s given a couple of 4s that just seem a bit spiteful and I’m not sure why (Paul last week and Punam this week).
“While the other 3 seem to overscore their faves, Craig seems to have people he just doesn’t like.”
Another said: “Craig is such a villain.” Someone else wrote: “Shirley shure has her faves… And Craig.”
And a third added: “Thought Craig’s 4 for Dr P was harsh.”
Fans also accused Shirley of favouritism after her comments for Pete Wicks and Jowita Prystal.
After their dance, Shirley said: “A very masculine approach to the Rumba, I like that. With a very feminine lady on the end of your arm.
“I loved all the lifts. There probably shouldn’t have been lifts, should’ve been keeping your feet on the floor.
“But I’m going to let them slide. You picked up – they were excellent in what you did.”
She added: “You isolated the upper-half of your body and you rolled those hips in the figure eight… I was mesmerised.
“I just need a little bit more of that figure of eight everywhere and you would have delighted me.
“That isolation, I’ll be thinking about that for a week!”
Some viewers, however were left unimpressed by Shirley’s assessment.
One wrote: “Shirley says she’ll ignore Pete’s faults & illegal lifts cause she was turned on by ONE hip movement… HOW IS SHE EMPLOYED?!”
