Strictly Come Dancing fans were left in tears after Paralympian Ellie Simmonds was eliminated from the show on Sunday, November 6. Now viewers are demanding a change to the BBC contest's format entirely.
Ellie was openly emotional when she and her professional dancing partner Nikita Kuzmin were unanimously voted off the show by the judges after finding themselves in the dreaded dance-off for the first time. They were up against pop star Molly Rainford and her professional partner Carlos Gu.
Many viewers were not happy that contestants they deemed as "worst" dancers, including former professional footballer Tony Adams, were not getting voted off the show and demanded a change of format as YorkshireLive reports. One said: "Must change rules. Fewer people watch meaning vote isn't fair. Leaving to "Great British public" is keeping in comedy act Tony Adams whereas the wonderful Ellie was voted off."
