Strictly Come Dancing fans are convinced that there is a feud brewing between two of the show's biggest stars. Viewers have pointed out a discrepancy in how one judge treats different performances, leading to speculation of favoritism.
Craig Revel Horwood under fire
Craig Revel Horwood, one of the show's judges, is facing backlash from fans who believe he is taking sides and pointing out mistakes with some celebrities while ignoring others. The frustration has been mounting as the judge's treatment of contestants continues to be inconsistent.
Disagreement over a 10-point score
The latest incident that has sparked controversy involved Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin. The duo delivered an impressive Argentine Tango performance that earned them a standing ovation from judges Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas. Both Motsi and Shirley awarded them a perfect score of 10. However, Craig refused to give them a 10 and instead gave them 9 points, much to the disappointment of fans.
Fans express their frustration
Strictly fans took to social media to express their frustration with Craig's scoring. Many felt that Layton and Nikita deserved a perfect score and accused Craig of being unfair. One viewer pleaded with Craig to "dig out your ten for once," while another criticized him for not giving the duo a 10 "for the smallest reason."
Debate over dance off decision
The controversy continued during the dance off on Sunday night when Angela Rippon and Krishnan Guru-Murthy found themselves in the bottom two. Fans at home noticed a mistake made by Angela during her performance, but she was ultimately saved by judges Anton, Craig, and Motsi, despite Shirley saying she would have saved Krishnan. This decision caused further outrage among fans, who accused Craig of favoritism.
Feuds behind the scenes
The revelations of this apparent feud between judge and contestant come in the wake of The Celeb Report's report on some of the biggest behind-the-scenes feuds in Strictly's history. This adds fuel to the speculation of tension between Craig Revel Horwood and Layton Williams.
