Strictly viewers bemoan inconsistency in judges’ scoring
Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly thank Strictly Come Dancing fans for 'beautiful' messages after exit
Viewers of Strictly Come Dancing expressed widespread dissatisfaction with the judges' inconsistent scoring during the latest "Icons Week" episode.
The episode, the first since hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman announced their departure, featured contestants embodying famous musical figures.
Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope topped the leaderboard with 34 points, while YouTuber George Clarke was at the bottom with 27, a decision many fans contested.
Fans criticised specific scores, arguing that some pairings were overscored and others, like EastEnders actor Balvinder Sopal, received unfairly low marks.
Despite the general discontent, some viewers praised the significant improvement shown by drag queen La Voix, who scored 28 points after a low score the previous week.
