Strictly Come Dancing fans reel ‘it’s a fix’ as sixth star axed from BBC show

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left furious as another star was eliminated from the BBC competition.

BBC audiences said goodbye to another famous face on Strictly Come Dancing following a weekend packed with spectacular performances.

Saturday evening saw TV personality Vicky Pattison dazzle the panel with her Tango, securing the summit of the leaderboard with an impressive 39 points.

Meanwhile, EastEnders star Balvinder became emotional before her Couple’s Choice routine whilst discussing a heartbreaking bereavement.

Despite languishing at the foot of the leaderboard, she successfully escaped the feared dance-off.

BBC viewers instead witnessed Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and La Voix facing elimination, both forced to perform again in a desperate attempt to remain in the contest, reports Wales Online.

Sadly, the Gladiator favourite’s journey concluded as every judge chose to save La Voix.

Social media quickly erupted with viewers flocking to X to express their shock at the result. One fan posted: “Gonna miss u a lot, Harry and Karen.”

Another declared: “I adore La Voix, but Harry won that DO for me.” A third viewer fumed: “Nah, these judges have completely bottled it. Harry was better.”

Whilst another raged: “Outrageous decision.” Another user tweeted: “Such a ridiculous decision- Harry was much better in the dance off!”

Echoing this sentiment, one spectator wrote: “Fix! What a strange set of decisions from the judges.”

Someone else declared: “It’s a fix and very sad to see.” With another adding: “Nah, Harry and Karen should have stayed.”

Harry received a score of 30 for his Samba with professional partner Karen Hauer, landing him in joint sixth place on the leaderboard alongside Alex Kingston.

Reflecting on his stint in the competition, he expressed: “I think, first things, I just want to thank Karen, genuinely, you have given me an opportunity to shine.

“You’ve understood my crazy brain. I’m such a logical person, trying to dance – and obviously doing what I do – Olympic sprinter, Gladiator – now I’m trying to be a dancer.

“I just want to thank you so much for the time and effort, the hard work that you’ve given to me.

“You show up, you turn out. I want to thank everyone here. Literally, this has been a dream come true. This is a celebration. It’s a celebration.”

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 6:25pm on Saturday 15 November, with the results show on Sunday 16 November at 7:15pm.
