BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers raise Tasha Ghouri concern as 'history repeats itself'

BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left concerned for Tasha Ghouri - suggesting history is repeating itself after the Alexandra Burke backlash. Fans of the show, who will be tuning into the BBC series again tonight (Saturday November 30) fear she's been dealt "a disservice" by always dancing towards the end of Strictly Come Dancing episodes.

Ghouri has made a late charge to win this year’s edition of Strictly Come Dancing after scoring the first perfect 40 of the series on Saturday, according to one bookmaker. The model was a 10/1 shot to win the programme but has seen her odds collapse to 9/2 after Week 10, seeing her leapfrog Sarah Hadland into second in the betting.

Taking to Reddit, a fan typed: "Tasha is such a great dancer and appears to be a lovely person as well, but I really think the producers do her a disservice. Viewers don't like it when certain couples appear to be being favourited over others, and putting Tasha near to last on every show will eventually play against her. It happened with Alexandra Burke as well."

A second wrote back saying: "I mean you can't put her on first because every other performance would be getting compared to hers, and none of the others would be scored even close to hers." And another fan of the show chipped in to say: "That's why they put her close to the end."

Another said: "Nothing to do with the producers. People don't like her because she's by far the best dancer and she's also very beautiful. Your typical Strictly viewer wants the underdog to win. Your typical viewer is also female and favours the male celebs.

"Which is why you see lots of these 'I just can't connect with her, she's boring' type comments. They'd rather watch Chris [McCausland] or Pete [Wicks] awkwardly move around the dance floor because they have 'personality' off the dance floor.

"Ultimately the general public vote on who they like the most, not who is the best dancer." Another wrote: "I think she's brilliant. She's such a sweetie, enthusiastic, and a really good dancer. That's what I come to see."
