BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans claim Shayne Ward 'robbed' amid crushing admission

Strictly Come Dancing fans have claimed that Shayne Ward was 'robbed' of his place in the competition as he made a heartbreaking admission moments before his fate was revealed.

The actor and singer became the seventh celebrity to be eliminated from the BBC One dance contest during the latest results show on Sunday night (November 10). Alongside professional partner Nancy Xu, the pair faced their third dance-off of the 2024 series.

Prior to the judges' vote, Shayne said of his position in the bottom two: "I'm gutted, I'm not going to lie. I'm going to do everything I can by coming out here and giving Nancy everything I have. One thing I want to do is be able to get to Blackpool so my mum can see me dance at least once. So that's all I can do!"

Shayne and Nancy were confirmed to be in the bottom two and faced the dreaded dance-off against Wynne Evans and Katya Jones during the seventh results show of Strictly's 20th-anniversary series.

Both couples performed their routines again with Shayne and Nancy first reprising their Rumba to Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper before Wynne and Katya performed their American Smooth to Grace Kelly by MIKA.

After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts: Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Shayne and Nancy, as did Motsi Mabuse, while Anton Du Beke chose to save Wynne and Katya.

With two votes in favour of Shayne and Nancy, the decision came down to Head Judge Shirley Ballas, who decided to save Wynne and Katya. As Head Judge, Shirley’s was the deciding vote, meaning that Shayne and Nancy would be leaving the competition.

And it's fair to say
