Fans express outrage
Furious Strictly fans have expressed their outrage over head judge Shirley Ballas' scoring of Pete Wicks once again during the live semi-final. Despite receiving seven, eight, and nine from other judges, Shirley gave the former Towie star a nine for his Foxtrot performance with partner Jowita Przystał.
Accusations of favoritism
This isn't the first time fans have accused Shirley of playing favorites with Pete. Last month, she also faced backlash for giving him high scores, leading many to believe she is overscoring him throughout the competition.
Shirley fires back
Despite the criticism and calls for her to be sacked, Shirley has defended her scoring and stated that she isn't going anywhere. Fans continue to express their frustration on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) over what they perceive as biased scoring.
