Strictly Come Dancing fans say 'will she ever learn' as they respond to under fire Tess Daly

Tess Daly has come under fire from Strictly Come Dancing fans over the way she tried to console Nikita Kanda as she exited the competition. The BBC Asian Network presenter became the second celebrity to be eliminated from the BBC One dance contest alongside professional partner Gorka Marquez.

Saturday night's show saw comedian Eddie Kadi and professional partner Karen Hauer score the first 10 of Strictly 2023 with their couples choice performance. The 40-year-old said he had a “whole other level of respect for street dance” after performing on movie week to Men In Black, dedicating the dance to his family who migrated from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

But the couple were beaten to the top spot on the leaderboard by one point after Irish TV presenter Angela Scanlon and her professional partner Carlos Gu scored 35 for their Charleston from the film Damn Yankees.

However, it all came down to Sunday night's results show (October 8) which saw Nikita and Gorka face elimination for the second consecutive week on the BBC show after scoring 21 with their movie week jive which saw them channelling 90s film Clueless. They faced Love Island star McDermott and her partner Graziano Di Prima who had scored 25 for their Puss In Boots paso doble.

Both couples performed their routines again in a bid to impress the judges, however, 26-year-old Zara was saved by all four judges with judge Motsi Mabuse saying Nikita made "a few mistakes that were quite visible" while Anton Du Beke agreed "there were a couple of small mistakes".
