Strictly fans scored Will Mellor higher than the judges - but Hamza stole the show

Strictly Come Dancing waltzed into Week Four last weekend, bringing with it a mixture of dazzling performances as the star-studded cast took to the dancefloor - but who did you vote as your favourite?

Viewers of the hit BBC show waved goodbye to Matt Goss and his professional partner Nadiya Bychkova following their defeat to Kym Marsh in the dance off.

It seems Strictly fans agreed with this decision after the duo received an average score of just 4.56 from the public.

Every week we’re giving readers the chance to score the dancers and let us know whether they thought Craig Revel Horwood was bang out of order, or if it really was too early for that 10 from Shirley.

Following Saturday night’s display, Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal landed at the top of the scoreboard following their superb Salsa to Ecuador by Sash!

Viewers gave the electric pair an average score of 8.94, despite receiving three 10’s from the judges on show night.

Heating up the ballroom was Fleur East and Vito Coppola who scooped second place with readers after their Argentine Tango.

Receiving an average score of 8.26, the public were harsher critics than the judges who awarded them two 10’s.

In third place was Tyler West and Dianne Buswell after their controversial Couples Choice to a garage megamix - where the pair achieved an impressive 8.14 from fans.

Viewers appeared to enjoy Will Mellor and Nancy Xu’s Rumba to The Joker and The Queen more than the judges as the couple placed seventh, despite plummeting to the bottom of the leader board on show night.

In a shocking twist, Tony Adams and Katya Jones scored higher than Mellor on Saturday night - but fans disagreed as they placed the football legend in second to last position.

Meanwhile, the public were impressed by Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez’s performance as they landed in fifth place with an average score of 7.17 - just behind Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu.

But the judges didn’t agree, as the Blue Peter star finished at the bottom end of the leader board after scoring a combined total of just 29.

Former Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds and professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin failed to charm viewers as they performed a ‘cheesy’ Salsa to I Love Your Smile.

Many slammed the dentistry set-up and labelled the story line as ‘bizarre’ - so it’s no surprise the couple scored just 6.09 from viewers.

However, the judges enjoyed the performance and scored the pair a combined total of 30 on show night.

Elsewhere on the board, viewers gave Ellie Taylor and Johannes Radebe a 6.14, while Jayde Adams and Karen Hauer received a 6.19.
