Strictly Come Dancing fans have claimed the results show has been “fixed” once again due to the fact Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal were saved - despite being at the bottom of the leaderboard.
This weekend, the remaining celebrities performed in the iconic Tower Ballroom in Blackpool – the one place many couples hope to get to.
For Wynne Evans and Katya Jones, it was the end of their journey as they were booted out of the competition after facing Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe in the dance-off.
Both couples have been in the dreaded dance-off multiple times and didn’t want Blackpool to be the place where they failed.
Speaking to Tess Daly about his time on the show, Evans praised: “It's been wonderful, I’ve got to say. I feel like it's what Strictly is all about.
“If I can come and do Strictly and last until week nine, then anybody can get out there and dance and have a brilliant time.

“Strictly is such a brilliant family, such a precious family, that I want everybody here in this room and at home to look after it for the generations to come because it is a wonderful, wonderful thing.”
Whilst some fans agreed that Evans’s exit was the right decision, many slammed the fact that Wicks had escaped yet another dance-off after failing to impress viewers at home.
His routine with Przystal saw him dressed in a pair of skintight pink trousers and an unbuttoned shirt, leaving Shirley Ballas centre of a "double standards" row.
When Daly read called out their name to reveal they were safe, both Wicks and Przystal were left visibly shocked they had made it through to another week.

However, fans weren’t as convinced as they took to their X account, leaving one to comment: “Pete through, that’s ridiculous. Someone must have spent a toy of money on the phone lines. The words dance of the night.”
Another added: “Craig was literally the only sane person when ‘judging’ Pete this week. Genuinely didn’t deserve to stay on after the performance that was given. But hey…he’s popular right so that’s what counts.”
A third penned: “How is Pete Wicks getting these votes, truly? And Wynn not winning the dance-off is down to the judges being biased.”
“Such a shame to see Wynne go. So entertaining. I'm afraid I don't understand why people keep voting for Pete,” someone else wrote before a fifth expressed: “It’s right that Wynne is gone but who the f is voting for Pete?”
Not all were in agreement, as one praised: “Pete Wicks you are welcome. You were given a revolting song and a half-assed joke character last week.
“Now you can go on & blow the bloody doors off #strictly.”

Another said: “People saying Pete got sympathy votes this week or ‘if so n so went up against Pete, Shirley would pick him’…
“1 he’s been bottom of the board at least TWICE & has been saved EVERY week & 2. he’s never been in the dance off. give the man credit, he’s obvs got support.” (sic)
