Strictly Come Dancing fans unimpressed with Matt Goss' "criminally" low score

Fans of a popular BBC show have been left shocked after a singer's performance left him second to last on the leader board. Viewers of Strictly Come Dancing have taken to Twitter to express their shock after singer Matt Goss scored 20 out of 40 for their performance.

Goss and his professional partner, Nadia Bychkova, performed the quickstep to Sir Duke. The singer shot to fame in the band Bros in the Eighties, and was beaming after his debut performance on the show.

However, the judges were not impressed, reports The Manchester Evening News. Anton Du Beke said: "I'd like a better line through the body."

Matt also wanted to know where he had gone right, and asked the judges "What was good?" Anton replied: "Feet, timing, style, musicality", but then added "unfortunately you looked like an unmade bed."

Host Tess Daly asked Anton: "What are you the new Craig." Making reference to his fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood, who is known for his harsh comments.

Surprisingly Craig defended the 53-year-old singer, he said: "They're all being really nasty. That was punchy. It was a really great routine." As Tess gasped and turned to Motsi Mabuse, she said: "I'm still recovering.

"I don't know what happened to Craig." Fans of the show were left disappointed when Goss found himself second to last on the leader board, and took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the score.

And @LESLEYLONDON agreed: "I thought that comment was so rude!!" @JamesLeon1 said: "How was Matt Goss the second lowest score? There were far worse."

@TheTrevorDurham commented: "Matt Goss quickstep literally one of best dances so far tonight, and gets the lowest score so far from the judges. What the?!? Some very random scoring tonight."

@MissCEWalker wrote: "But no way was @mattgoss second worst. Not even close. Even with my bias hat off..." @annief1 complained: "Matt Goss should have been given higher scores."

@blueskies_me said: "Totally undermarked. He didn't put a foot wrong. Timing..perfect!

"Sharp moves. Only the frame was the criticism. .why? #Strictly." And @festinagirl said: "Matt Goss criminally undermarked."
