Strictly pro James Jordan has hit out at the judges and branded their scoring of some celebrities a “mockery”.
James is no stranger to sharing his opinions on Strictly Come Dancing – which he left in 2013. He often tweets live during the shows on Saturday nights, offering his honest opinion on the performances.
Many fans have even begged for him to become a judge on the show! This series, James has been sharing his thoughts on Hello!‘s Strictly the Truth podcast.
And following this weekend, James had some harsh words for the judges.
Strictly judges slammed for scoring
Speaking on the podcast episode, James discussed actor Nigel’s performance with pro dancer Katya Jones. They dance a foxtrot to I Just Want To Make Love To You by Etta James.
The judges gave him a score of 29 out of 40. Shirley Ballas gave him seven, Craig Revel Horwood awarded seven while Motsi Mabuse gave him seven.
You might think you can pull the wool over the public’s eyes, but you can’t.
Anton Du Beke issued them eight out of 10.
However, during his routine, Nigel suffered a mistake. After the scores were revealed, Nigel joked to Claudia Winkleman: “I think we should go wrong more often.”
