The ballroom show returned on Saturday night for week four but was hit with backlash over the judges’ scoring – EastEnders Jamie Borthwick and Welsh singer Wynne Evans (pictured)
Craig Revel Horwood said: ‘You bum was sticking up – but I loved, loved, loved it. Winner, winner, winner.’
Motsi agreed and said: ‘This was your best dance yet, I’ve been waiting for this dance, I knew it was coming. What I love is that you guys give us a story…beautifully timed.’
Head judge Shirley Ballas was also full of praise and said: ‘I got goosebumps, it was passionate and told a tale. You got out there and I could see you’re in it to win it.’
However some fans didn’t agree with the feedback and have begun accusing BBC bosses of giving out special treatment.
Some claimed Jamie, who won the Christmas special is getting an easy ride, from the judges so he can sail through to win, with others speculating Wynne is a ‘judges’ favourite’ and ‘very cliquey’ with them all.
Fans took to X to vent their frustration and penned: ‘No, no, no…grossly overmarked…they really want Jamie to win don’t they #Strictly’
‘I didn’t think Jamie was THAT good. What were the judges watching ? #Strictly #SCD #StrictlyComeDancing’
‘8’s and 9’s for that. Oh come on #Strictly’
