Strictly Coming Dancing fans 'work out' why judges scored one couple so low

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left fuming after Saturday night's show, as they all shared the same complaint about one couple. The BBC dance competition is notorious for sparking controversy over the judges' scores, and this week was no different.

Following their performance on Movie Week, Love Island winner Amber Davies and her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin found themselves at the centre of a scoring row. The remaining couples put on another round of dazzling performances in an attempt to win over judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke, as well as the viewers, hoping to avoid the same fate as last week's eliminated duo, Ross King and Jowita Przystal. Amber and Nikita received a score of 33 for their Argentine tango to Angel Of My Dreams by Jade, which judge Motsi Mabuse commended, stating it featured lifts that were "on a whole different level," reports the Mirror.

However, viewers were not satisfied with the score.

"Massively undermarked, the dance of the night! !" one viewer vented. Another chimed in, "How this didn't get 10s is beyond me."

One fan speculated: "My take here is that they want to push her to her limits because she's so good." A fourth added: "Best dance of the night, the skill was outstanding.

"How did the judges not give 9/10's just because she is a great dancer doesn't mean they shouldn't score higher."

Meanwhile, Alex Kingston stole the show on Strictly Come Dancing, earning a perfect 10 and a kiss from judge Shirley Ballas.

The 62-year-old actress performed a stunning rumba to Tracy Chapman's Fast Car with her partner Johannes Radebe, scoring an impressive 36 points and prompting Ballas to rise to her feet in applause.

Following the performance, the judge exclaimed, "I have to tell you, in all my time on Strictly, I have never seen a pair of legs work like that.

"Every closing place, every forward walk, turning, just an absolute perfect routine for me. Your choreography was stunning, the way the temperature between the two of you was portrayed beautifully," she added, before asking, "May I give the queen a kiss?".

Hot on their heels with 34 points were former Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope and his partner Katya Jones, who performed a foxtrot to L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole. Judge Anton Du Beke praised their performance as "super duper".

However, not everyone had such a successful night. Drag artist La Voix and their professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard, scoring a mere 14 points for their cha cha to Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar.

Also in danger of facing the dance off were former England rugby player Chris Robshaw and his professional partner Nadiya Bychkova, who scored 24 points for their Salsa to Ricky Martin's Maria.
