Strictly viewers have hit out at Fleur East and Vito Coppola’s performance tonight (October 22).
Fleur and Vito performed a Jive to Abba’s hit song Waterloo as they paid tribute to Eurovision to mark 100 years of the BBC.
However, Strictly Come Dancing viewers weren’t impressed and thought it was “unfair” that Fleur got to dance to an actual song rather than a TV theme tune like some of the other stars.

As they took to the dance floor, some viewers complained on Twitter.
One person said: “Wait how is Waterloo a TV theme!? That’s a little unfair as much as it is a banger.”
Another wrote: “Since when has ABBA’s Waterloo song been a theme tune??? A bit unfair for the rest of the contestants.”
A third added: “Seems a little unfair they get an actual song to dance to when everyone else is having a crappy theme tune.”
Another wrote: “Seems unfair they get an ABBA track when everyone else gets a [bleep] theme tune??”
However, others loved the performance as one gushed: “Fleur East brings it every single week. Love her energy.”

“Not an easy routine at ALL! Bravo. 9/10.”
