‘The biggest injustice of the night’: Strictly fans left fuming at Craig Revel Horwood after scoring Ellie Taylor and her partner Johannes Radebe a THREE

Strictly’s Craig Revel Horwood left BBC viewers fuming on Saturday after giving comedian Ellie Taylor and her professional partner Johannes Radebe ‘harsh’ feedback and a low score. 

Craig awarded Ellie and her partner Johannes a disappointing three for their Rumba to ‘Alone’ by Heart – despite topping the leaderboard last week.

When commenting on the performance, Craig said: ‘I thought it was a little bit stiff, actually. It felt like you were just walking around.’

Motsi Mabuse marked the routine as a seven, along with Anton, while Shirley Ballas gave the pair a five. It didn’t take long for outraged viewers to question the low results. 

Head judge Shirley said the ‘fluidity and flexibility was totally missing’, adding that she wouldn’t do them a ‘disservice’ by padding things out.

Another said: ‘The biggest injustice of the night – Craig giving Ellie a three and scoring Tony Adams higher.’

A third penned: ‘I’m actually annoyed that Craig scored Tony a 4 and Ellie T a 3.’

One commented: ‘Wow talk about a character assassination, just saw it on #Strictly done by Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood, neither have liked Ellie from the show start, that voting destroyed her.’ 

‘I actually feel sorry for Ellie T. She’s genuinely gutted and a 3 from Craig, didn’t think it was THAT bad,’ another wrote.

One Twitter user added: ‘I’ve seen rumbas far worse than that on #Strictly getting scored higher than a 3… I feel sorry for #Ellie and #Johannes. Sure, it wasn’t perfect but I thought it still looked beautiful. Certainly higher than a 3!’

Many fans were left fuming that Craig scored Tony Adams and his partner KAtya Hones a 4 after Ellie’s disappointing 3.   

Tony and Katya were the final couple to dance and were hoping to improve on their highest scores from last week with a Salsa to ‘I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)’ by Pitbull.

Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be as they judges had some mixed remarks over the performance. 

Craig simply told the pair: ‘It didn’t work tonight – its a shame’, while Motsi struggled to produce a compliment as she uttered: ‘You tried so hard… stuff goes on in life… pick up you crown, go out there and salsa it out!’

With Shirley trying to stay positive by praising Tony’s rotations and ‘fearless’ lifts, but added it was an ‘absolute shame’ that he went on the wrong foot and made ‘too many mistakes’.

Week’s seven’s live show concluded with Hamza and Jowita topping the leaderboard with 38, while Tony and Katya languished at the bottom with just 21 points out of 40. 

Reaction: Craig simply told the pair: 'It didn't work tonight - its a shame', while Motsi struggled to produce a compliment as she uttered: 'You tried so hard... stuff goes on in life... pick up you crown, go out there and salsa it out!'
