James Jordan slams Strictly result and claims couple 'robbed' of place in competition

James Jordan has reacted angrily to this week's Strictly Come Dancing result, claiming the 'wrong' couple went home and Tyler West and Dianne Buswell were 'robbed' of their place in the competition.

In what is being branded the shock of the series so far, radio host Tyler and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell landed in the bottom two for the second week in succession, alongside CBBC star Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, who were condemned to the dance-off for a third time. Both couples received an impressive score of 35 out of 40 for their performances in Blackpool on Saturday night, but, with they and Will Mellor getting the same score, resulting in a three way tie, the 'middle of the leaderboard' curse struck again.

After both of their fates had been revealed by host Tess Daly during the Strictly results show, Tyler and Dianne and Molly and Carlos reprised their routines, before the outcome, as it always s, was put in the hands of the judges. The result went right to the wire as, after Craig Revel-Horwood and Motsi Mabuse both opted to save Molly, Anton forced head judge Shirley Ballas to use her casting vote as he saved Tyler.
