Outrage over Judges' Scoring
Furious Strictly fans are calling for a major shake-up of the judging panel following the 2023 final. Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola were crowned the winners on Saturday night, but the judges' scoring has come under intense scrutiny.
Accusations of Bias and Sexism
Viewers took to social media to express their frustration with the judges' decisions. Some accused judge Shirley of bias and sexism, claiming that she unfairly marked down Ellie and Vito. Others pointed out that despite a mistake in Ellie's show dance, Shirley had promised to give her a 10. Meanwhile, she gave a perfect score to runners-up Layton and Nikita, despite Nikita dropping a prop during their routine.
Craig Revel Horwood Faces Backlash
Judge Craig Revel Horwood also faced criticism for alleged undermarking. Many viewers felt that he unfairly scored Bobby Brazier's emotional couple's choice routine, which paid tribute to his late mum Jade Goody. While all the other judges gave it full marks, Craig only awarded it a nine.
Call for Change
Strictly fans are now demanding a shake-up of the judging panel for next year's competition. They argue that the scoring controversies have marred the otherwise memorable and hard-fought final. It remains to be seen whether the show's producers will take these calls for change into consideration.
