Strictly viewers outraged at judges’ decision

Did the right couple leave?

Strictly Come Dancing has sent home another couple: Brian Conley and partner Amy Dowden have been given the boot after dancing off against Simon Rimmer and Karen Clifton.

Both were at the bottom of the leaderboard after Saturday night’s dances, so it was no surprise to see them in the dance off.

However, fans at home weren’t impressed with the judges decision to send home Brian after Simon FELL OVER during his routine.

The awkward moment came after Simon went to put down the fiddle he was using as a prop and went sliding on his bottom.

When the judges then unanimously opted to save him, viewers at home weren’t happy.

Brian told Tess: “I have loved everything about this, I truly have, it’s one of the greatest shows.”

Ever the joker, he then added: “There’s been someone by my side through this journey who’s been there every moment, and that is Aston!

“No, I love this lady and I wanted to be on this show forever and ever because I want everyone out there to know how special this lady is. She’s a star.”

Amy was tearful as she paid tribute to Brian and his family who she said are now “friends for life”.

While most viewers felt Simon should have gone instead, there were some who called for a double elimination!

It wasn’t meant to be this week and Brian is the one who will miss out on next week’s Halloween extravaganza.
