It Takes Two viewers sunk their claws into one of the Strictly pros on the BBC spin-off show, calling him 'annoying and childish' and accusing him of 'playing dumb for laughs'.
Fans slammed Vito Coppola, who is partnered with actress Sarah Hadland, fuming 'he needs to calm down!' after a strong of 'OTT' antics during the show.
Wearing matching khaki outfits, Vito and Sarah sat down with host Fleur East and discussed their chemistry on and off the dancefloor.
The duo have delighted audiences with their dances every week, but fans were less than impressed with Vito's behaviour on the companion show.
On social media, one person wrote: 'Glad Sarah managed to get some words in he goes at 100mph, she's got so much patience.'

Another said: 'In my opinion Vito is pretending not to know certain words and I'm finding it annoying now, rather than funny.'
'I'm finding it annoying now, I think he does it for the laughs,' someone else fumed.
A fourth posted: 'He is acting like a young child who has had too many sweets. Honestly it's so OTT.'
However, some fans thought the pair were entertaining and endearing on the show, as one said: 'I love Sarah calming Vito down like he's an excitable puppy. Their partnership is brilliant.'
A second said: 'My favourites Sarah and Vito are a breath of fresh air!! I get immersed into their conversations & even understand Vito's descriptions…. And I applaud at the end!'
Sarah has previously praised Vito as a dance partner and said they make a great match as they are both 'hyper'

Sarah has previously praised Vito as a dance partner and said they make a great match as they are both 'hyper'.
Speaking to The Times, the 53-year-old said: 'We're well matched because we're both quite hyper — he keeps telling me to stand still and listen.'
She added: 'You're in a very unique situation where you have four days to learn a really hard dance from this person, you're seeing each other when you're exhausted, having a laugh together, going a bit crazy together, and those moments bond you in a very different way to any other relationship that I can explain.
'You could either have the romance or the dancing, but not the energy for both. But obviously, it helps gazing into his gorgeous face.'
It Takes Two airs exclusively on BBC One and iPlayer.
