Joe Sugg reacts to Dianne and Dev's shock Strictly Come Dancing exit

Heartbroken Joe Sugg can't get his head around DJ Dev Griffin and Dianne Buswell's Strictly Come Dancing exit. 

The popular pair were kicked out of the competition in a bombshell result night few expected.

They were up against Emma Weymouth and Aljaz Skorjanec, who the judges voted to save.

Fans were seething with rage over the result with many claiming that they had issues with their phone votes.

Dev and Dianne's goodbye didn't just rock those watching at home.

YouTube sensation Joe, the boyfriend of pro dancer Dianne, took to Instagam to tell of his surprise.

Posting a picture of the duo in action, he added: "Tell me how that hip is not a 10?"

On Twitter he uploaded a VAR request - seeming to suggest technology was needed and the the show has scored a serious own goal.

Dev, 34, looked shocked and upset at the news of his departure.

He told host Tess: "I’m not going to lie I am absolutely gutted.

"But learning how to dance, hanging out with Dianne and the other pros and celebs… I’ve absolutely loved it."

Fans cried fix with some suggesting they couldn't call in.

But an insider told the Mirror Online : "There were no technical issues, all lines were working. It was just high call volumes, which sometimes happens."

One tweeted: "Please, please complain to @bbcstrictly if you had an issue with your phone votes for @dev_101 and @dbuzz6589 last night!Seems so unfair. #Strictly #strictlyspoiler."
