BBC Strictly fans fume as judges fail to spot glaring 'mistakes' from star's performance
Fans of Strictly Come Dancing have been voicing a shared frustration after the judges awarded high marks to JB Gill’s performance over the weekend.
On Saturday, November 23, the JLS star, 37, and his professional dance partner Lauren Oakley, 33, delivered a Charleston to Yes Sir! That’s My Baby by Firehouse Five Plus Two, earning an impressive 39 points.
However, many viewers took to social media to express annoyance, claiming the pair’s near-perfect score was undeserved due to apparent mistakes in their routine.
Taking to X - formerly Twitter - viewers wrote: "How did no judge notice JBs multiple mistakes including nearly dropping her #strictly. 'I'm sorry... JB made a very obvious mistake during his routine and got 2 10s, but Jamie does a gorgeous Foxtrot and gets 7, 8s and a 9?? Scandalous #Strictly (I also love them both, but gotta ask the question of Whyyyyyy!!!!)."

"So JB's dance was better than Sarah Hadland's? I dont think so. His knees were not high enough in the flicks and they didnt match his partner. Also he struggled with the lifts. Another example of unfair scoring. Sarah had a better dance," wrote a third.

On Sunday night's result show, EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick became the latest celebrity to be eliminated from the competition, as he missed out on a place in the Strictly Come Dancing quarter-final.
The actor, 30, and his professional partner Michelle Tsiakkas faced the dreaded dance-off against Olympian Montell Douglas, 38, and her partner Johannes Radebe, before they were sent home.
During his exit speech, Jamie said: “Not just everyone who you see in front of the camera, these four here (the judges), but everyone who works on this show, I have such a good bond and relationship with and that’s what made me want to do this show, it’s the people, not what I’m doing. I’ve had the best time.”
