Shirley Ballas is the second Strictly judge to come under fire from viewers this year after Craig Revel Horwood was criticised for his lack of 10s
(Picture: PA Media)Strictly Come Dancing‘s head judge Shirley Ballas has responded to fans’ criticism after Fleur East faced the dance-off for the third time this season.
The singer was up against comedian Ellie Taylor, who ultimately became the ninth celebrity to be eliminated after the judges voted for East to stay. Taylor and dance partner Johannes Radebe’s jive had scored only 25 points out of 40 on Saturday night, leaving her bottom of the leaderboard.
