Strictly Come Dancing fans rush to support Dan Walker after quarter final result

Strictly Come Dancing viewers have rushed to support Dan Walker following the latest result show.

Strictly's result show on Sunday December 5, saw presenters AJ Odudu and Dan Walker go head to head in the bottom two.

AJ and Kai looked like they cleaned up their dance that found them fumble with an awkward lift on Saturday night and Dan and Nadyia danced the Tango.

Dan has been the target of trolling on social media with many Strictly viewers hitting out at the show, questioning why he continued to be safe each week.

Earlier the BBC presenter said on Twitter: ""I’m well aware that some people are furious that I’m still dancing, and that’s fine.

"I have never posted any of the thousands of positive messages we get every single week but, in the interests of balance, thank you to everyone who sends stuff like this.

"See you next week."

But the judges all voted unanimously and saved AJ who will be dancing in the semi-finals next weeks.

Fans rushed to Dan's support after he tweeted this morning: "I’m sad it’s over but I’m so thankful it happened.

We had an amazing run & the right 4 people are in the SF - Rose, John AJ & Rhys are all brilliant. I’m so glad everyone has seen the real @NadiyaBychkova this series. She taught me how to dance… I taught her cricket"

Claire said on Twitter: "I think that if you can dance, you're a dancer. Take it Dan! Fabulously gracious in defeat as you would expect, but Strictly is poorer for your absence. Well done Dan"

Ray: "From one reluctant Dad dancer to a former one, I'm proud of you Dan. Will miss you both on #Strictly next week..."

"Dan you are the nicest celebrity EVER that’s been on strictly an absolute gentleman Nadia done a phenomenal job on teaching you to Dan now you will be first on the dance floor bring out the Parties", a third fan said.

Trudi: "You were fantastic on strictly Dan, sad you didn’t make it to the semis, but my goodness you’ve shown a whole load of people that with work and dedication amazing things can happen!!"

Marie added: "Dan you are what Strictly is all about! A total non dancer blossoming every week with the fab guidance of the lovely Nadiya. Keep dancing!"

The semi final of Strictly Come Dancing will be on BBC One at 7.05pm on Saturday December 11.
