Strictly fans rage over John's 'outrageous' scores as they accuse judges of 'fixing' vote

Strictly viewers were left "outraged' over John Whaite and Johannes Radebe's scores this evening, accusing the judges again of attempting to "fix" the vote.

The Bake Off winner, 32, performed a Salsa to We are Family by Sister Sledge this evening and wowed viewers.

But the judges weren't so impressed as they scored them near the bottom of the leaderboard, despite positive comments.

"We asked you to add some different content," Shirley Ballas pointed out. "You entertained, well done."

"It was terrific, I loved the disco feel," Anton said. "You came out without any inhibitions."

They received one seven, two eights and a nine.

And viewers were left fuming, with one commenting: "JOHN AND JOHANNES UNDERMARKED! #strictly."

While another raged: "If they score Dan higher than John i'll riot. Dan could NEVER do what John just did. #Strictly."

A third commented: "Yep! The judges are doing what they do so well.. undermarking!!! F**kin joke that was!! #john #strictly #StrictlyComeDancing #SCD."

"I have a feeling it might be John and Dan in the dance off. I'd also like to say that Dan will finally be out but after Michelle Visage's elimination in 2019, the judges might evict John," another fumed.

Meanwhile, viewers were left cringing this evening as Shirley Ballas complimented Rose Ayling-Ellis on "blocking out the noise".

EastEnders actress Rose - who is deaf - and pro partner Giovanni Pernice once again wowed judges and viewers alike with their American Smooth to This Will Be.

The pair received one nine and three tens, receiving an almost perfect 39.

But viewers were distracted by Shirley's bizarre compliment to Rose as she said: "Before Rhys went on before you there was lots of noise, lots of clapping. You came in, you blocked it out and you delivered a performance of a lifetime. You had beautiful footwork, your posture was outstanding."

Viewers were left raising their eyebrows, with one tweeting: "well shirley she can’t hear it #strictly."

While another commented: "Did... Did Shirley just compliment a deaf woman for blocking out the noise? #Strictly."

A third wrote: "Shirley, she’s deaf #Strictly."

"shirley… wtf was that comment," another questioned.

One pointed out: "#Strictly did Shirley just remark on the noise being a distraction for Rose?"
