Strictly fans brand show a 'fix' as Ellie Simmonds and Molly Rainford dance off

Strictly Come Dancing fans have branded the show a 'fix' after Ellie Simmonds crashed out of the competition.

Paralympian Ellie and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin found themselves in the bottom two alongside Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu. Ellie and Nikita danced their Charleston to Too Darn Hot from Kiss Me Kate once against whilst Molly and Carlos performed their Foxtrot to You Make Me Happy by My Sun and My Stars to keep themselves in the competition.

The judges - Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas - were then asked to give their verdict on who they wanted to save. All four of them opted to keep Molly and Carlos in the competition, meaning Ellie and Nikita had to leave.
