Controversial Performance
Opera singer Wynne Evans and pro partner Katya Jones faced backlash for a controversial "joke" during last Saturday's live show on Strictly. Despite the duo apologizing, fans noticed they were hardly visible before their routine.
Quirky Routine
Performing a Quickstep to Mr Blue Sky by ELO, Wynne's routine involved getting paint on his outfit, tissue stuck to his shoe, and even a 'bird pooping' on his head. The judges praised the fun routine, awarding a score of 33 with two nines in the mix.
Outrage from Viewers
However, fans took to Twitter to express their frustration, accusing the judges of consistently overmarking Wynne Evans. Some viewers believed the high scores were a deliberate attempt to keep the duo in the competition following the previous week's controversy.
Allegations of Bias
Viewers expressed disbelief at the judges' scoring, with comments like "Good old Strictly stitch up as usual" and "smacks of trying to protect him because they know people might not vote after the drama last week." Some even speculated that the BBC had influenced the scoring to favor Wynne and Katya.
Continued Drama
Strictly airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer, promising more drama and intense competition as the show progresses.
