Strictly fans convinced bosses want celebrity eliminated after putting them in ‘death slot’ on fourth live show
STRICTLY fans are convinced that Sarah Hadland is at risk of being eliminated next after being placed in the “death slot” tonight.
The actress, 53, danced the Foxtrot with pro partner Vito Coppola during Saturday’s fourth live show.
An emotional Sarah, who danced to Billie Eilish‘s hit track Birds of a Feather, admitted the song meant a lot to her family and her child.
In her VT, a tearful Sarah said: “It would be really lovely to show how I feel in the dance.”
Sarah then took to the dancefloor to perform the elegant routine – but it received mixed reviews by head judge Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood.
Shirley said: “The spotting on the spins were flawless, you did it twice. Some nice footwork at the beginning but it didn’t glide.
“I loved the role reversal when you changed from man to lady.
“Foxtrot is a gliding dance, that’s what you need to keep working on when you move into the ballroom dances.”
While Craig said Sarah was “trying too hard” and “attacking the dance”, but did praise her for being a “clean dancer”.
But some fans think Sarah could be the next vulnerable celebrity.
The “death slot” has become known as the second dancing spot on the running order – and least likely to throw up success.
One wrote: “Sarah being put in the death slot is CRIMINAL.”
A second said: “Sarah and Vito will defy the death slot…”
“I feel like they’re gonna chuck Sarah Hadland in the death slot tonight,” a third said.
A fourth commented: “not my beloved Vito and Sarah in the death slot.”
A fifth shared: “Now why’d they put Sarah and Vito in the death slot.”
Another added: “4th week and 4th woman in the death slot… be so fr right now.”
It comes after Toyah Willcox danced in the “death slot” last week and was eliminated in the results show.
It has left fans to suspect that the Beeb secretly wanted to get the 80s pop singer out by giving her the spot.
Writing online, one fan said: “Toyah has the death slot, seems like they want her to go now that she’s made it to Movie Week.”
Another added: “A Samba and Toyah is in the death spot. OH DEAR!”
A third wrote: “Lol @ production doing Toyah and Neil no favours by dumping them in the death slot.”
Before a fourth penned: “Toyah and Neil death slot oh it’s over for them.”
