Johannes Radebe checked on Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tabby Stoecker during Saturday night's show, asking if she was alright after her Quickstep with partner Mark received mixed judge reactions.
Speaking to the Olympic athlete after her routine, Radebe said: "I just wanted to know if you're ok? Constructive feedback from the judges."
Stoecker appeared unfazed by the judges' remarks, responding: "I'm so used to that. I'm an athlete; that's what I live for. After having such a high last week, I wanted to challenge myself; I didn't want to do an easy routine. I wanted to do something that was difficult, and you can see that it was difficult."
Judges' Scores and Reaction
She added: "That's the whole point of the show. I want to grow, I want to learn, I want to get better. I can't do that without taking on different challenges."
Craig Revel Horwood gave her a six, Motsi Mabuse a seven, Shirley Ballas a five, and Anton Du Beke a seven, giving Stoecker a total of 25. This marked a significant drop from last week, when she and Mark received the first double 10 of the series from Anton and Motsi for their couple's choice routine.
Halloween Week Twist and Fan Concerns
During the last results show, viewers learned that Halloween week would feature a Strictly first: three people in the dance-off instead of two, with judges voting to eliminate rather than save. With this twist raising the stakes, some fans worry Stoecker could be at risk.
One fan said: "The way my top three are all in danger tonight (Tabby, Bethany, Jaime)." Another wrote: "Tabby and Mark being at the bottom of the leaderboard doesn’t sit right with me; this will be me voting!!!!!"
Another commented: "All my votes are going to Tabby. We can't lose her #Strictly." One added: "Pleaseee everyone we should save Tabby and Mark #Strictly."
Someone else wrote: "Tabby is getting all of my votes as it stands - her placement on the leaderboard has me full of rage. #Strictly." While another said: "How am I supposed to focus knowing Tabby is bottom of the leaderboard and might be in the dance-off #Strictly."
Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturdays on BBC One at 6:30pm.
