Strictly fans stunned by shock elimination as they fume the ‘wrong’ person went
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have been left fuming as another celebrity was sent home in a shock elimination.
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman presented the results show as week 10 of the competition came to an end.
Fans watched as the pair announced Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas would face the dreaded dance off with Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe.
During the show the Sugababes performed a medley of hits Overload, Freak Like Me and Push The Button.
Jamie and Michelle performed their foxtrot again, while Montell and Johannes followed with their Quickstep.
But in a shock to viewers, Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and Motsi Mabuse all chose to save Montell.
With the majority vote meaning EastEnders star Jamie was eliminated, head judge Shirley Ballas said she too would have saved Montell.
Speaking following the shock result, Jamie said: “Strictly is magic. That is all I can say. Strictly is magic. Not just everyone who you see in front of the camera, these four here [the judges], but everyone who works on this show.
“I have such a good bond and relationship with and that’s what made me want to do this show, it’s the people, not what I’m doing. I’ve had the best time.
“I could ramble on all day about this one [Michelle]. She’s a new pro and she’s absolutely been the most amazing teacher. We have laughed like you wouldn’t believe.
“I have nothing but the utmost respect for everyone on the show, so thank you.”
Reacting to the result, Strictly fans took to social media, raging how Pete Wicks should have been eliminated.
One said: “Seriously people please please stop voting for Pete enough is enough.”
A second wrote: “Pete Wicks seems like a nice enough chap but I can’t believe people are voting for him over Montell.”
“I love Pete, he’s a laugh and he’s trying and he’s what it’s about. But I’m sorry what the f**k,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “They will not let Pete near the dance off.”
