STRICTLY fans have been left furious after they accused the judges of favouring a couple with high scores – despite massive mistakes.
Saturdays show saw some couples achieve some of their best routines so far in the competition, while others took a bit of a dip.
Strictly fans have been left furious after they accused the judges of favouring Tyler and Dianne with high scores – despite massive mistakes
The fans felt Ellie T was marked more harshly despite being praised for her footwork
Hamza Yassin topped the leaderboard while Tony Adams found himself at the bottom with 21 points.
Just one point ahead was Ellie Taylor, who had a massive drop from the top of the leaderboard last week.
The judges were not impressed with her rumba, and Strictly viewers were left furious with Craig Revel Horwood after he scored her a three.
The rage continued for viewers at home when they saw the scores the judges gave Tyler West after his waltz.

While it wasn’t Tyler’s best performance by a long shot, he still managed to score 29 points, even though the judges picked up on mistakes.
Head judge Shirley Ballas said there were “too many mistakes, too much incorrect footwork, you can forgive a little bit…collapsed in the frame, I’ve seen it better, I’ve seen you better.”
Meanwhile Anton Du Beke added: “The thing that bothered me the most was the top line. It’s not bad just a bit wonky.”
In contrast, while the judges agreed the rumba wasn’t Ellie’s best dance, they couldn’t fault her footwork.
Anton said: “There’s a lot to like about your dancing, beautiful lines, an elegance and sophistication in dancing in general.
“Your footwork is immaculate, not a heel lead to be seen.”
Shirley agreed, saying: “Beautiful finish on your lines, footwork was quite nice, I didn’t see any heel leads.”
But the fact that Tyler still scored more despite his errors has left some fans convinced he’s a favourite with the judges.
One wrote on Twitter: “Strictly so Ellie T you claim had perfect foot work yet Tyler and Tony made numerous mistakes…and you score them higher. Surely that should be investigated before the dance off in and hours time.”

Another tweeted: “Tyler looked even worse than I remember. Craig giving that a 7 is actually worse than him giving Tony more than Ellie T.”
A third added: “Grrr. Tyler makes loads of mistakes, bum sticks out, arms not right etc and gets 7’s! Ellie got a 3 and a 5 with no footwork mistakes 
bllcks.”
Meanwhile a fourth raged: “Ellie Taylor according to the judges had this and that wrong and got a 3, Tyler gets it all wrong and almost falls over and gets 7s don’t ever tell me these f***ers aren’t corrupt.”
