Viewers of Strictly Come Dancing have slammed judge Craig Revel Horwood for his “ridiculous” scores.
Craig has never been the easiest judge to please, but last night he angered viewers as he took things to a whole new level.
The judge awarded Saffron Barker and AJ Pritchard a five for their samba – much to fellow judge Motsi Mabusi’s shock.

And, after Alex Scott and Neil Jones’s Argentine tango – which saw the pair stuck together in an epic wardrobe malfunction – Craig struck again.
No way Alex and Neil deserved to be at bottom of leader board tonight. Craig sort ya scoring out darrrrlinnngggg.
He gave the couple – who danced the first Argentine tango of the 2019 series – a four.

How can Craig give Neil and Alex a 4? That is out of order, there wasn’t that many mistakes and it wasn’t bad altogether🙄. Ridiculous #Strictly

Others wondered what Alex had done to upset Craig, and called the judge’s scoring of Saffron “harsh”.
What has Alex Scott done to upset Craig?!! That was never a 4!!#scd #StrictlyComeDancing

I’m no expert but Saffron getting a 5 from Craig is really harsh? #Strictly

Others said the judge, who isn’t exactly known for his warm personality on screen, was just plain “mean”.
Nah, 5 is bloody mean, Craig #saffron #samba #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing#StrictlyComeDancing2019#SCD

Craig also laid into Karim Zeroual, saying that he thought he lacked emotion not just in his performance this week, but through the whole of the competition.
I’ve never screamed so much at my screen than I did when Craig was talking nonsense about Karim’s contemporary #Strictly

He ended up topping the leaderboard with Kelvin Fletcher.
