Strictly fans flocked to Twitter to give their thoughts on the result, with one fan branding it an “absolute disgrace”, while another suggested the “rules need to be changed

Strictly fans were not happy yet again this week after the results of this week’s exit was leaked online, with some suggesting “something isn’t adding up”.

The results show airs on Sunday but is pre-recorded on the Saturday night after the live show, meaning that the name of the axed star is often leaked online. The Mirror knows the name of the celebrity, but won’t be naming them.

Fans flocked to Twitter to give their thoughts on the result, with one fan branding it an “absolute disgrace”, while another suggested the “rules need to be changed”. Another wrote: “I’m really shocked about one of the couples in tonight’s Dance off especially when they’ve been so consistent since Week 1. Devastated about the other couple going home as they’ve been my favourites since Week 1. #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing.”

One seethed: “i hope this is the series that gets this awful show cancelled.”

However, others hit back at angry viewers as one wrote: “Imagine getting so triggered over a light entertainment show.. some people have a bigger fan base than others and that’s always been the case..” Another agreed, commenting: “I wish people could just not be horrible about those left in. Everyone likes dancers for different reasons some prefer more of a journey and some prefer more polished performances but they are all working as hard as each other.”

This week was Musicals Week and the pressure was on for the couples to make it through to semi-finals next week.

Flying high at the top of the leaderboard were JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, whose Viennese Waltz very nearly got a perfect 40. In joint second were Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola with their Charleston to Popular from Wicked and Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec with their Argentine Tango to Ex-Wives from SIX, with both scoring 38.

Much further down were Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe and Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell, who both scored 32 for their Rumba to I’m Here from The Color Purple and Quickstep to You’re The Top from Anything Goes, respectively.

Sitting at the bottom again were Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał, who failed to impress with their Waltz to Somewhere from West Side Story: 5, 7, 7, 7 meaning a score of 26

It comes as EastEnders favourite Jamie Borthwick was the latest exit of the series last weekend. He and pro dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas found themselves in the dreaded bottom two with Montell and Johannes.

Jamie was sent home by the judges, with many viewers were shocked by the decision. Speaking about his departure last week, Jamie told the show: “Strictly is magic. That is all I can say. Strictly is magic.

“Not just everyone who you see in front of the camera, these four here [the judges], but everyone who works on this show. I have such a good bond and relationship with and that’s what made me want to do this show, it’s the people, not what I’m doing. I’ve had the best time.”
