Strictly fans fear Graeme Hall faces first triple dance-off
Strictly fans fear Graeme Hall faces triple dance-off

Strictly Come Dancing viewers have shared concerns that Graeme Hall could be the next contestant to leave the competition, with some believing he may land in the first-ever triple dance-off.

On Saturday night (October 31), the Channel 5 star danced with Lauren Oakley, performing a zombie-inspired Tango to the song Coconut. The pair opened the BBC show, which featured the remaining 11 contestants taking to the dancefloor for a Halloween spooktacular.

It was not long before viewers took to X to share their thoughts on Graeme's routine, with several expressing worry about his performance.

Viewers Share Their Concerns

One person said: "What have they done to this song?! Such a weird dance. Bit worried for Graeme." Another wrote: "Are Graeme's shoes hindering him??!!"

Someone else commented: "Not Graeme's best; I'm nervous." While another added: "This has got to be Graeme's weakest dance in the competition so far, wasn't really my cup of tea."

One person said: "Surely the Dogfather needs to face a dance-off." As someone else shared: "Sorry Graeme but I don't think this was your dance #strictly."

Judges' Scores and Leaderboard

At the end of his performance, judge Shirley Ballas said: "You're very brave to open the show with a zombie Samba; that's all I'm going to say, so I'll give you that. Nice criteria when it comes to mixing the basic steps."

Meanwhile, Craig Revel Horwood commented: "I would've liked to have seen a bit more fluidity in the bounce. The footwork was a little bit sticky at times. It needs finessing. But, I have to say, every time we watch you, you come out here, and you go for it."

In the end, Craig gave a score of six, Motsi a seven, Shirley a five and Anton a seven, giving Graeme a total score of 25. This put him at the bottom of the leaderboard, alongside Tabby Stoecker.

On the other end of the spectrum, Lacey and Vito are at the top of the leaderboard after being given an impressive score of 36 for their Charleston.

Results Show Ahead

BBC viewers will have to tune in on Sunday night to see which couple will be leaving the competition next. The results show will also feature a spooky professionals routine, as well as a musical performance by Becky Hill.
