Fans of Strictly have spotted a “new curse” on the show after JLS star JB Gill and Amy Dowden landed themselves in the bottom two this weekend.
JB and Amy found themselves in the bottom two alongside former footballer Paul Merson and Karen Hauer on Sunday (October 20). While JB and Amy were saved the panel of judges, their lack of public votes came as a surprise to viewers.
Strictly fans called out a ‘new curse’
JB and Amy kicked off Saturday night with a jive to OutKast’s iconic Hey Ya!. Their score from the judges tallied up to 30 out of 40. Motsi Mabuse was especially impressed, insisting the pair were not “playing around”.
However, that didn’t stop Amy and JB from not receiving enough votes from fans for them to avoid the bottom two.
Fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to express that the new Strictly ‘curse’ could be performing first on the night. After all, the same happened to Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu a week prior.
“First to dance on the live show curse has struck AGAIN. Ughh why, I don’t want my fave starting,” one user wrote.
“Going first seems to be the curse of Strictly this year. It was Shayne last week and JB this week,” another shared.
