BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers make same 'pointless' complaint after major changes

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left complaining just seconds into the latest results show which wasn't actually a results show after all. There was chaos on Saturday (December 2) after Nigel Harman was forced to withdraw from the competition.

The Casualty actor and his dance partner Katya Jones were expected to perform a Charleston to Step In Time from Disney’s Mary Poppins with his partner Katya in the Musical week special - which also marked the quarter-finals of the 2023 competition.

However, he had to pull out of the show and the rest of the series at the eleventh hour due to suffering a rib injury which saw him end up in A&E. His withdrawal from the competition meant that the other four couples still had to perform despite automitcally going through to the semi-fianls as the usual elimination was cancelled.
