Strictly Come Dancing in fix row as Tony Adams survives another week

STRICTLY Come Dancing is embroiled in a new fix row after Tony Adams made it through to the fifth week.

The former Arsenal star, 56, performed a cha-cha to the Grandstand theme tune on Saturday night and while he is highly entertaining, he’s not considered to be the strongest dancer.

Despite his lack of technical skill and finding himself at the bottom of the leader board, Tony is still in the competition.

Taking to Twitter to discuss the footy player, one person said: “I honestly don’t know why @TonyAdams and @Mrs_katjones are still in this competition and who is wasting their votes voting for them.

“The joke has ended and to think that “Potential finalists” are in the DO because people are voting for Tony is beyond a joke. #Strictly.”

A second wrote: “How can this be right that they’re in the bottom 2 and the absolutely useless Tony sales through yet again?? Now tell me it’s not a fix. It’s a disgrace.”

Strictly Come Dancing fans furious as fourth celeb is axed

While a third remarked: “Fix again! @bbcstrictly Tony Adams still in? Really?”

And another said: “Jayde should have stayed, Tony should have gone. #Strictly is a popularity contest.”

This weekend saw Jayde became the fourth celebrity to leave the show after a night which celebrated the BBC’s centenary.

Following the special show on Saturday which marked 100 years of the broadcaster with routines to classic BBC theme songs, the 37-year-old comedian found herself in the dreaded dance-off against singer and actress Molly Rainford.

Jayde and her professional partner Karen Hauer reprised their Charleston to comic song The Ballad Of Barry And Freda (Let’s Do It), which was written and performed by fellow comedian Victoria Wood.

During Saturday’s show the routine had secured them a score of 28, with judge Motsi Mabuse telling Jayde she was “one of the best” performers but felt her dance moves needed improving at this stage of the competition.

While Molly and her partner Carlos Gu, who previously achieved the highest score of the competition so far, danced their couples’ choice routine to the Grange Hill Theme Tune again, which judge Anton Du Beke had described as a “safe” option in the live show.

After both couples had danced for a second time, it was a unanimous decision by the judges to save Molly, sending Jayde packing.
