Fans were quick to comment on the news.

However, sadly some of the reaction appeared to be negative.

Why are fans annoyed at the latest Strictly news?

Some fans hit out at the couple’s being allowed to choose one of their favourite dances.

As a result, one viewer ranted: “Couple’s choice shouldnt be allowed in final no matter how good they were! Theyre no different to a show dance considering it’s free reign so just defeats the purpose of a show dance.”

A second complained: “The final should be one ballroom, one Latin and the show dance. In other words two different technical dances and an ‘anything goes’. Couple’s choice is really spoiling the show for me.”

Meanwhile, a third said: “Can’t wait to see Hamza and Jowita’s Salsa again, it was amazing and will hopefully get 40 this time,” before adding: “Not sure about having the couple’s choices in the final, too like the show dance.”

Additionally, another labelled the category as “unfair”, saying: “Don’t think the couple’s choice dances should be allowed to be picked. That seems unfair as they always do well with having less rules!”

“I respect Carlos and Molly for *not* picking their Couples Choice in the final, although I am glad to see Helens again because I am still obsessed with her and Gorkas Fosse (I have mixed feelings about Couples Choices tbh),” commented a fifth.

What happened to the group dance?

Elsewhere, viewers recently complained about the lack of group dance on Monday night’s results show.

According to The Sun, the routine was cut from the final edit of the show as a mark of respect.

News broke earlier in the day regarding three boys who died at Babbs Mill Lake in Solihull.

The pre-recorded dance would have reportedly featured Craig Revel Horwoodin drag as the Snow Queen and the other dancers as snowflakes.

As a result, a source told the newspaper: “Strictly knew they could not air the dance in light of the awful news from Solihull.

“Naturally everyone on the show agreed and the decision was made not to air the performance.”

A BBC spokesperson added to The Sun: “In light of tragic news events, we took the decision not to broadcast the group dance on this weeks results show.”
