BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans say judges should be 'reminded of rules' after spotting why Fleur should have left

Strictly Come Dancing fans think the judges should be 'reminded of the rules' after they were left furious over the latest dance-off results. In an unusual move, the results of the semi-final were revealed on Monday night (December 12) after the live show aired on Sunday for the first time.

Will Mellor battled it out against Fleur East after they came bottom of the leaderboard based on the scores from the judges and public following their two performances in the penultimate live show of the series. As Tess Daly revealed who was safe, and therefore through to the 2022 final of the BBC One dance contest, the red light of doom ended up landing on actor Will and dance partner Nancy and radio host and singer Fleur and her dance partner Vito Coppola.

Both couples were asked to reperform their favourite dance of the night, as the results were pre-recorded directly after the live show, with Fleur opting to redo her Charleston to Tu Vuo' Fa L'Americano by Fiorello as Will chose to perform his Couples’ Choice to a 90s Manchester-inspired medley after using the routine to close the semi-final.
