Strictly: Tess rushes to help Angela after wardrobe malfunction
Some Strictly Come Dancing fans weren’t too pleased following one couple’s most recent performance on the show, as they theorised they were being given “easier” dances so they wouldn’t be sent home.
On Saturday, Angela Rippon and her professional dance partner Kai Widdrington impressed the BBC judges with their Rumba to Rise Like a Phoenix by Austrian singer Conchita Wurst.
The pair placed near the top of the leaderboard with a score of 31 (8+7+8+8), but some viewers were sceptical about the choice of dance.
Many flocked to social media to share their theory that the competition had been somewhat “fixed” as they believed Angela, 79, had been given “easier” dances.
One fan argued: “How come Angela R is getting all the dances like Rumba, Argentine Tango where she can do her leg stretches and get high scores?

“She’s very lucky with the dance order. She would hate the faster ones like Samba and Salsa.” (sic)
“They are deffo giving Angela R the best dances for her ability…give her a jive or Charleston and make it fair,” another person wrote. (sic)
One more added: “Don’t get me wrong I love Angela R & Kai. She’s brilliant and is so mesmerising to watch.

“However, it’s time for her to do a faster routine now. Are the producers holding back because of her age? Even her Quickstep was ‘Slower’.” (sic)

Paralympian Jody Cundy became the latest star to be eliminated from the competition last night.
He and his professional partner Jowita Przystal finished at the bottom of the leaderboard with just 19 points (3+5+5+6).
In the dance-off, they competed against Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer, who were ranked second-to-last with a score of 24 (4+7+6+7).
The judges ultimately opted to save Eddie and Karen after their second American Smooth performance to Sex Bomb by Ton Jones.
Meanwhile, Jody and Jowita’s final attempt at the Salsa set to Bellini’s Samba de Janeiro failed to stick the landing and they were sent home.
Strictly Come Dancing returns this Saturday at 6.35pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
