Strictly Come Dancing has got some viewers hot under the collar after tonight’s elimination show, which saw Clara Amfo and Aljaz Skorjanec voted off.
The couple were at the bottom of the leaderboard with 18 points following a few slip-ups during their Jive to Tina Turner’s River Deep, Mountain High.

They had to dance again alongside Jamie Laing and his partner Karen Hauer, who performed their Tango once more.
On Saturday’s show they were awarded 24 for their moody moves.
Why did the Strictly judges vote off Clara and Aljaz?
Craig Revel Horwood actually chose Clara and Aljaz to stay, while Motsi Mabuse chose to save Jamie and Oti. Head judge Shirley Ballas had the casting vote and picked Jamie.
Craig admitted it was difficult, saying both couples danced with passion.
Motsi said there were mistake and timing issues with Clara.
Shirley believed more in Jamie’s conviction.
Fans of the show were already pretty upset after Saturday’s episode as they felt the judges were not being consistent.
But also the judges’ scores were pretty tight, shifting some responsibility onto the viewer vote.

Two other couples got 24, there was one 25 and 29 and HRVY came out on top with a perfect score.
There was particular criticism around Clara, both last night and tonight, with some viewers feeling she has been judged much more harshly.
Strictly fans gutted for Clara

Gutted for @claraamfo. As a #Strictly fan, all I want to see is someone who loves to dance and who appreciates what it means to be on our favourite show. Clara did that in spades. She’s a role model. And she gave us that unbelievable Charleston.
Well done, girl! Be proud. pic.twitter.com/av3VT7Rl1X— StrictlyTweeter Lou (@StrictlyTweeter) November 29, 2020
#strictly Cannot believe Clara has gone. A joke considering she had an entire dance of high speed kicks and flicks and Jamie spent 30 seconds just faffing around with a chess board

Well… It was clear that poor Clara was going the moment Shirley had the deciding vote… She’s been overly harsh on Clara since week 1… #Strictly #SCD2020
