BBC Strictly Come Dancing result sees James Bye go home after 'ridiculous' bottom two

Strictly Come Dancing fans branded tonight's results show "ridiculous" as Fleur East landed in the bottom two with James Bye.

Fleur performed a Salsa to Beyonce's Break My Soul with professional partner Vito Coppola. While James reprised his Charleston to Bumble Bee by LaVern Baker with his professional partner Amy Dowden, who was dressed as a bee.

However, viewers couldn't believe Fleur was in the dance-off after scoring 32 for her dance. Beth tweeted: "Again, Fleur wasn’t my favourite dance of the night, but she shouldn’t be in the dance off."

Lois said: "WHAT?!?! Fleur doesn't deserve to be in the dance off, there were a lot worse dances than hers." Sam tweeted: "Even more ridiculous #strictly."

A fourth said: "How is Fleur in the bottom again? Ridiculous voting." Dave tweeted: "Fleur, no chance should she be in dance off."

Dorina added: "Ridiculous that Fleur is in dance-off again." And Carina said: "WTAF! No way should Fleur be in the dance off!."

However, luck was on Fleur's side as the judges voted to save her over James. Reflecting on his time on the show, James said: "I've said this from the very beginning, all I can do is go out there and do my very best.

"I am dancing against Fleur East, I went and did my best but she is phenomenal. I've had the best time on this show and I have a friend for life (in Amy) all I can do is thank the family, and I have a new family now.

"It's a competition but you don't feel like that backstage, you honestly feel like everyone has each other's backs and everyone is just willing everyone to do their best."
