Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left furious by this week's result and are blaming 'the biggest shock' of the series so far on 'inconsistent' scoring from the judges, as Tyler West went home after landing in the bottom two alongside Molly Rainford. And others have accused Shirley Ballas of making the 'wrong call' as she had the casting vote.
There was a lot of excitement in the air on Saturday night as Strictly returned to Blackpool for the first time in three years. After a electric and energetic opening, which saw pro Nikita Kuzmin dance with Motsi Mabuse, all eight of the remaining couples danced their hearts out in the iconic Tower Ballroom.
The night belonged to belle of the ball, Fleur East, who earned the first perfect score of the series, getting 40/40 for her superb Couple's Choice routine to a Destiny's Child megamix. That score sent Fleur and pro partner Vito Coppola straight to the top of the leaderboard, with Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez just behind them, after they got a series best score of 39.
