Strictly fans 'work out' which star will leave next - but it's 'not Tony Adams'

Strictly Come Dancing 2022 viewers believe they have rumbled the next celebrity to leave the show.

Some said it's obvious which couple will be next to be axed by the judges in the dance-off, and they have ruled out Tony Adams and Katya Jones.

Despite Tony not doing very well this week, and the judges giving him plenty of criticism, fans are convinced he will stay on the show for another week.

Instead, viewers shared their suspicions that Ellie Taylor and her pro partner Johannes Radebe will be out next, after the latest episode.

Ellie and Johannes were left gutted when they were scored low and given harsh comments for their Rumba to Alone by Heart.

Viewers loved the routine, but the judges listed criticism including a lack of fluidity, it being "stiff" and her "just walking around" - with Craig saying it "lacked passion".

Fans hit out at the judges for "undermarking" the pair, and they are now desperate to save them from the dreaded vote-off.

Some viewers do not think it will be enough though, with many taking to Twitter to predict they could be leaving next.

One viewer said: "That might be it for Ellie. Doing a rumba and getting a bad score might mean she's deffo in the bottom two and possibly will leave idk."

A second fan wrote: "I genuinely do feel sorry for ellie t tonight, that was harsh. a three and a five? wtf? please vote for her, she does not deserve to leave."

Another fan commented: "Ellie T vs one of Molly/Fleur/Tyler dance off I think."

Some fans do think it could be Tony's time to go though, with one writing: "tony babe as much as I love you think it’s time to go."

Another agreed: "Prediction is for Tony & Katya and Ellie & Nikita to be in the dance off tonight. If that's the case, Tony's going."

Last weekend, James Bye became the fifth celebrity to exit after a tense dance-off ended the BBC ballroom show’s Halloween special weekend.

The EastEnders actor faced X Factor alum Fleur East in the ghastly dance off as Strictly embraced the spooky season.

James and his professional dance partner Amy Dowden once again performed their Charleston to Bumble Bee by LaVern Baker.

Fleur and her dance partner Vito Coppola performed their Salsa to Break My Soul by Beyoncé in a bid to impress the judges and remain in the competition.

When asked by Tess about his time on the show, James said: “I’ve said this from the very beginning, all I can do is go out there and do my very best. I am dancing against Fleur East, I went and did my best but she is phenomenal.

“I’ve had the best time on this show and I have a friend for life [in Amy], all I can do is thank the family, and I have a new family now.

"It’s a competition but you don’t feel like that backstage, you honestly feel like everyone has each other’s backs and everyone is just willing everyone to do their best!“

Strictly Come Dancing airs its results show on Sunday at 7:15pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
