Viewers accuse judges of ‘over marking’ one couple
Former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec took to the famous dancefloor to perform the Quickstep during the latest live show.
And her glitzy performance left judges Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke in awe as they gave her a joint score of 37.
Motsi and Shirley even gave the star a perfect 10 but fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood seemed less impressed as he scored the couple an eight.
But BBC viewers did not agree as they dubbed the performance ‘flat’ and said the house band ‘butchered’ the song – Mariah Carey’s smash-hit track, Sweet Fantasy.

The BBC show will air its results show tonight after it was filmed on Saturday night, however the next celebrity name to be sent packing is already circulating on X.
Many were surprised at who ended up in the bottom two and had to dance their routines for a second time.
But it seems the judges had a split decision when voting who to send home and it was head judge Shirley Ballas who had the final say.
