‘Fix’: Strictly fans in uproar as Joe Sugg is ‘undermarked’ in semi-final
It is the Strictly semi-finals and this week, the pressure is on the five remaining couples.
And Joe Sugg, after having strong weeks and high scores, came crashing down during the show when both of his dances failed to get the level of praise from the judges that the YouTube star has grown used to.
The 27-year-old took to the dance floor with his pro dance partner Dianne Buswell to do two dances – a Viennese Waltz and an Argentine Tango.
He received a score of 29 for his first dance, which put him at the bottom of the leader board.
Judge Craig Revel Horwood said, "Way too much rise and fall, it almost became a waltz.''
He continued, ''All the movement I thought was too harsh and it made it look rigid. I don't think its your best ballroom to be honest.''
Fans were not happy with this critique and insisted that he was under marked while others were not as heavily penalised.
Others suggested that the way the judges scored the dances was a fix.
One wrote, ''Joe did better than Lauren and Ashley but gets Scored Lower …. I think it might be rigged #strictly."
While another said, ''So far I feel everyone tonight has been way over marked, except Joe who’s defiantly been under marked. #Strictly.''
The Results Show is on BBC One tonight at 7:15pm.
