Strictly Come Dancing fans were left raging over the scores once again on Saturday night as they claimed the competition judges were ‘over marking’ one of the final eight couples.
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.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one user penned: ‘Tasha & Aljaz didn’t deserve 10s I’m sorry.’
‘I liked Tasha’s dance but I don’t think it was 10 worthy.
‘Tasha and Aljaz was Overmarked. I agreed with Craig on this one.’
‘As usual Tasha was good, yawn. Sorry I just find her really dull to watch, there’s been zero journey and I feel like the judges are favouring her massively.’
‘Shirley going in on that when Tasha was bland as anything and she gave a 10.’
And Craig appeared to be on the side of the public as he said: ‘I thought it was a little bit safe I’ve got to be honest,’ as the audience booed.
‘I felt that it was just missing something tonight. Sorry about that.’
The fresh wave of criticism comes after Shirley hit back at fans who were left outraged to see Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin be the latest couple to leave the competition last week.

The head judge, 64, snapped as she confessed she thought it was ‘childish’ to blame the judges for the outcome.
Shirley was slammed earlier this month after fans of the BBC show revealed that they believe Sam was under scored by the judges.
But now she has hit back and reminded the public that their vote has an impact on who is put into the dance off on Sunday evenings.
The judge said: ‘The show’s been on over 20 years. The public vote makes a difference.’

‘You the public can vote to save your favourites. It gets childish to blame the judges.’
After being accused of unfairly marking down the female celebrities, Shirley responded, ‘I haven’t got a mean bone in my body.’
Sam and Nikita were scored 29 for their American Smooth performance during last Saturday’s episode which landed them at the bottom of the leaderboard.
Then after a public vote then went head to head in a shock dance off against Montell Douglas and Johannas Radebe, which saw them being voted off by the judges.
But the scoring of the couple left fans outraged as they claimed they were unfairly scored.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one penned: ”This bottom two when Wynne and Pete are right there?!?!’
‘If we don’t see Wynne or Pete in the dance off next week i am gunna kick off.’
‘I need Pete to be the dance off next week. We’re losing decent dancers and he’s just not there.’
‘#strictly pete shayne and wynne were the weakest!’
‘Pete should have gone home this week, he was atrocious. Yes I’ve read the spoiler & I’m really cross. The other pair should NEVER have been anywhere near the dance off’
‘Poor Sam didn’t deserve to go. Pete did. Shirley didn’t judge him fairly, she hasn’t all series. She needs the sack. She has ruined this show in the way she’s picked favourites. Len never did.’
‘Sam and Montel should never have been in the dance-off. There’s some mediocre men that should have been there. Very unfair as they were both what strictly is about. Loved watching them both progress.
