BBC Strictly Come Dancing Viewers are claiming there is 'clear favouritism' amongst the judges after one celebrity was given the 'perfect critique'. Coronation Street's Ellie Leach stunned fans on Saturday night as she performed the Paso Doble with partner Vito Coppola.
But despite her perfect critique, Ellie didn't quite manage to get the perfect score. Instead, it was Layton Williams who scored higher, much to the annoyance of many fans.
After Ellie was pipped to the post by Layton, BBC viewers rushed to Twitter to share their thoughts. One said she had stopped watching due to 'unfair' scores, while reams of others demanded a higher score for the Corrie legend.

@Lost_In_Films_ said: "Let's face it nobody is going to be marked higher than Layton doesn't matter what they fo. Angela Rippon was under marked last week this week Ellie. That was not a record breaking week 5 worthy dance he did even as a professional that he is."
@ladydvl asked: "@TheAntonDuBeke and, @ShirleyBallas how can you give a perfect critique and not give 10's to #Ellie and #Vito, yet others weren't perfect but got higher scores? Vito and Ellie to win .( or Nigel and Katya)"
@alyiom_ said: "I thought Ellie’s Paso was better than Layton’s non-Salsa." @SuperShaker1980 said: "I don't get how Shirley can say to Ellie that it was so good and there were no mistakes but score her a 9. Then in comes Layton, and she pretty much busts out the 10 before they've started dancing."
@pantskate said: "Ellie should have had all 10’s imo."
