Yahoo News BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers rage over 'difference in treatment' two stars are getting
Fans of BBC Strictly Come Dancing have been left raging at the judges over "unfair marking" - as they savaged the judges and admitted they felt "so bad" for one of the contestants. BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans spoke out during Musical Week.
JB Gill and Lauren Oakley - who replaced Gill’s previous dance partner, Amy Dowden, following the show’s Halloween special, after she suffered an injury - topped the leaderboard tonight. Judge Anton Du Beke said of the performance: “I remember in 2014, I danced this number with the wonderful Judy Murray at Blackpool, and you were almost as good as that.
“We got voted off that night, but I don’t think that will happen to you. You were practically perfect in every possible way, the best dance of the night.”

"Craig doesn't want to overlook JB's thumb but Pete can botch the whole dance and it's fine! #Strictly," one wrote on X, whilst a second added: "Feel Chris & Dianne are underscored there. Better than his paso doble but 3 marks less."
Another penned: "Judges undermarking Chris and Dianne again #Strictly," as a fourth wrote: "Should’ve been 40…again. Always undermarking Sarah! #Strictly." A fifth penned: "Three judges scoring Pete the same as Craig did for Chris. Score Chris higher."
And another wrote: "Chris & Montell undermarked, i wouldn't be surprised if Montell is in the dance off yet again, feel so bad for her, Pete should be voted out now #strictly." Another penned: "About time for Pete to leave but it will probably be Montell #Strictly."
Finishing bottom of the rankings were reality TV star Pete Wicks and professional partner Jowita Przystal, who scored 26 for their waltz to Somewhere from West Side Story, with Wicks saying “I’m so sorry” to Przystal after finishing.
The Strictly Come Dancing results show airs on Sunday at 7.20pm on BBC One.
