Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left furious after Saturday's live show, with many taking to X to complain about the judges' scoring. The issue was unrelated to the presenting line-up, as attention instead focused on the marks awarded to the couples.
Viewers complain about scoring consistency
Numerous fans voiced their frustration online, saying the judges' comments were not reflected in the scores. One viewer wrote: "The judges comments are totally inconsistent with their scores. It's been a theme all through this series."
Another said: "These scores are embarrassing. Delta DESERVED at least one 10 for that Argentine Tango." A further comment read: "Genuinely what are the judges watching tonight? It's all wrong."
Some defend the judges
Others defended the panel, pointing out that judges are experts in their field and that viewers may lack the expertise to assess the performances accurately. One person remarked: "Craig is doing what the judges should do and judging based on the rules. It's not his fault."
Another added: "Considering that Delta had a change of partner at the last minute, those are some decent scores." One fan also stated: "Do the public realise that #StrictlyComeDancing IS A DANCING COMPETITION and not a popularity competition? You're worse than the judges."
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday evenings on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
