Strictly Come Dancing viewers were outraged to see Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin the final couple to leave the competition.
Fans of the BBC show revealed that they think Sam came under the judges’ score as they believe there are weaker dancers who score higher.
The pair received a score of 29 for their American Smooth performance during Saturday’s episode, which put them at the bottom of the leaderboard.
Then, after a public vote, they went head-to-head in a shock dance against Montell Douglas and Johannas Radebe, resulting in them being voted out by the judges.
But the pair’s score left fans outraged as they claimed they had been unfairly scored.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, one wrote: “These bottom two when Wynne and Pete are there?!?!”
“If we don’t see Wynne or Pete at the dance next week, I’m going to take off.”
‘I need Pete for the dance next week. We’re losing decent dancers and he’s just not there.”
“#strictly pete shayne and wynne were the weakest!”
“Pete should have gone home this week, he was awful. Yes, I read the spoiler and I’m really angry. The other couple should NEVER have been anywhere near the dance competition.”
‘Poor Sam didn’t deserve to go. Pete did it. Shirley didn’t judge it fairly, she doesn’t have all the series. She needs the bag. She ruined this show with the way she picked favorites. Len never did that.’
‘Sam and Montel should never have participated in the dance-off. There are some mediocre guys who should have been there. Very unfair, because both were strictly speaking what it was about. I loved seeing them both progress.

On Sunday, Sam and Nikita again performed their American Smooth to Love Story by Taylor Swift, while Montell and Johannes performed their waltz to I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.
The series’ sixth results show closed out ICONS week with an electrifying K-Pop performance and Beyoncé group dance
On Sunday, Sam and Nikita again performed their American Smooth to Love Story by Taylor Swift, while Montell and Johannes performed their waltz to I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.
With three votes for Montell and Johannes, they won the majority of votes, meaning Sam and Nikita would leave the competition.
Chief Judge Shirley Ballas also agreed, saying she would have decided to save Montell and Johannes.
When Tess asked about her time on the show, Sam said: “I’m gutted, I just want to thank you.
‘I’ve learned so much. Strictly just put that spring back in my step. It was just an absolute pleasure.
“Nikita, you played a key role in finding that inner Sam that was there, who was kind of quiet for maybe a year or two and is just now coming back. I’m gutted because I feel like I have more to give.”
Nikita said, “I’m just in awe of this girl. Sometimes they say it’s about the journey, not the destination, but for me it’s about the company.
“Sam, you are the best company I could have had.”
In a shocking turn of events, the celebrities in the bottom two with their partners were hockey player Sam and Gladiator Montell.
Both couples performed their routines again on Sunday’s results show and all four judges unanimously saved Montell and Johannes – with Sam and Nikita being sent home
Saturday’s live show saw Montell finish fourth on the leaderboard when she scored 35 points for her waltz, while Sam’s American Smooth saw her finish second to last.
On Sunday, Sam and Nikita again performed their American Smooth to Love Story by Taylor Swift, while Montell and Johannes performed their waltz to I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.
“I’m guilty of watching the competition and thinking, ‘How do they have that relationship as a celebrity and a dancer?’ Sam added.
‘All I can say is: the time you spend together and what you bring out in each other. It really is, and it sounds very cheesy, magical.”
Viewers were treated to a performance from K-Pop’s newest boy band dearALICE, as well as a dazzling Beyoncé medley.
During the group dance, Johannes was able to channel his inner Sasha Fierce as the lead performer in the routine – which was filled with bejeweled cowboy hats, power ballad moves and sparkling sass.
Strictly speaking fans were left shocked after the results were leaked online again in a huge spoiler.
Many were surprised who ended up in the bottom two and had to dance their routines for a second time.
With three votes for Montell and Johannes, they won the majority of votes, meaning Sam and Nikita would leave the competition.
When Tess asked about her time on the show, Sam said: “I’m gutted, I just want to say thank you.”
While others expressed their annoyance at the leak that occurred frequently most Sundays during the recent series due to an infamous mole.
They wrote on X (Twitter): ‘Actually so annoyed by this??? none of the couples in the dance-off deserved to be there, even though they have improved week on week and then there are others who have had some bad weeks and continue to sail through it.’,
‘WHAT?! I’m floored!! This actually completely destroyed me.’,
‘I’m so sorry!! My first question is why was either couple dancing??!! And secondly, why are the worst still in there?’,
‘What the hell did I just see??? The two couples in the dance-off were not supposed to be in the dance-off.”
