Next star to be booted out of Strictly ‘revealed’ as fans fume: ‘It’s a stitch up’

Oh no...

Strictly 2023 fans reckon they have worked out the next celeb to get the boot – and they are not happy.

The glitzy BBC One series is back on TV screens – much to the delight of viewers. So far, we’ve seen the likes of Les Dennis and Nancy Xu and Nikita Kanda and Gorka Marquez get the boot from the show. And just last week, Eddie Kadi became the latest celeb to be eliminated, following a dance-off with Zara McDermott and Graziano di Prima.

But now, viewers have twigged who’s next to go – while claiming show bosses have “stitched” them up.

Next eliminated Strictly 2023 celeb ‘revealed’

This weekend’s Strictly episode will be a Halloween-inspired show. And it’ll no doubt make jaws drop!

Ahead of the show, Strictly bosses released the dances that the celebs will perform at the weekend. Love Island star Zara and partner Graziano will dance the Charleston to Jeepers Creepers by Al Donahue and his Orchestra.

But some fans reckon she’s doomed due to her having the “hardest dance”. Over on a Reddit thread, one person penned: “That’s a stitch up. We all know who’s going.” Someone else added: “Yeah, Zara is absolutely [expletive]. There are some Latin/faster dances I could see her pulling off, but a Charleston is not one of them.”

A third quipped: “The hardest dance the week after being in the bottom? Brutal.” Another person penned: “I’m guessing both her and Angela will get the same approach, tons of tricks and as little footwork as possible to try and make the best of the situation.”

“It’s time for Zara to go,” said another. “With this week’s dances out, Zara is definitely getting the boot this week,” said another.

Who left Strictly 2023 last weekend?

During the last Strictly elimination, comedian Eddie, was praised by two of the judges following his second go at a samba to Calm Down by Rema and Selena Gomez.

But ultimately Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke plumped for Zara and Graziano. They continue through to this week’s Halloween-themed show.

Craig said in his verdict: “For me the quality of dance in this couple was far superior and the couple I would like to save is Zara and Graziano.”

“For me, it was extremely close,” concluded Motsi. She went on: “The quality was actually very, very close. It came down to details and I would love to save Zara and Graziano.” And Anton said: “Well, I thought that was an excellent dance off. I thought both couples danced very, very well but for me with a slightly cleaner technique, I’d like to save Zara and Graziano.”

But will Zara live to dance another week? Time will tell…

Catch the Strictly Halloween special on Saturday (October 28) at 6.40pm on BBC One.
