Strictly results show: Dan Walker’s message for the ‘strange’ haters as Tilly Ramsay is eliminated

He has faced some awful abuse the past few weeks

| Updated:

The Strictly Come Dancing results show saw Tilly Ramsay leave the contest after facing the dance-off opposite Rhys Stephenson.

The Week 10 elimination means just five couples now remain in the competition: Rhys and Nancy; John and Johannes; AJ and Kai; Rose and Gio; Dan and Nadiya.

Tilly and Nikita found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard after Saturday’s performance.

They scored 30 for their Samba to Levitating by Dua Lipa, while Rhys and Nancy scored 35 for their Waltz to You Light Up My Life by Whitney Houston.

Both couples performed their routines again, before the judges gave their decisions.

This week, the judges were unanimous in deciding it was Tilly’s time to leave.

And along came the predictable Dan bashing

Knocking Dan Walker for still being in the competition has become something of a sport in recent weeks and he was a target once again tonight.

One said: “Why isn’t Dan gone?! Can’t dance, he just walks round.”

Another commented: “What??? Dan sails through again? This is getting ridiculous! Tilly and Rhys are both better than he is as a dancer! So was Tom last week!”

A third said: “Dan must have a huge amount of people voting! Although I don’t think he’ll make it to the final.”

Yet another said: “Urgh. Dan safe. Tilly and Rhys in the dance off and Rhys saved. This is just getting unwatchable now. Dan is the dancing new variant and I’m sick of it. The BBC should be ashamed.”

Another said bluntly: “I want Dan OUT!”

Dan is of course aware of the negative comments and today posted on social media: “We get so many positive, kind, encouraging messages but also… some very strange unkind stuff.

“It doesn’t bother me but I can’t fathom how anyone can get that angry about a gameshow! We’re having an incredible time & it’s a privilege to be a small part of a show that means so much to so many.”

Time to cut him some slack!
