Strictly Come Dancing viewers vented their outrage after judge Craig Revel Horwood gave a nine for ‘the best dance ever’. The judge was the only one not to give couple Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin a 10 for their dance.

But fans were left frustrated by Craig’s score of nine, and took to social media site X to point out how unfair it was. All the other judges awarded the couple a 10.
