Judy Murray laughs off "rigor mortis" jibe on 'Strictly Come Dancing'

Murray laughs off 'Strictly' criticism

Judy Murray has brushed off the criticism she faced for her latest performance on BBC reality show Strictly Come Dancing.

The 55-year-old, who is the mother of 2013 Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, has been among the lowest-scoring celebrities of the competition so far, but has survived two public votes.

After Saturday night's quick step with dance partner Anton Du Beke, one of the judges Craig Revel-Horwood said: "That was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Your posture is appalling. In fact, I thought you had rigor mortis."

After Sunday's results show, Murray tweeted: "Thank you to everyone who voted for me + the amazing @TheAntonDuBeke. Another week to work on my rigor mortis :-) xx."

MasterChef star Gregg Wallace and actress Jennifer Gibney have both been eliminated from the show.
