James Jordan has reacted angrily to this week's Strictly Come Dancing result, claiming the 'wrong' couple went home and Tyler West and Dianne Buswell were 'robbed' of their place in the competition.
In what is being branded the shock of the series so far, radio host Tyler and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell landed in the bottom two for the second week in succession, alongside CBBC star Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, who were condemned to the dance-off for a third time. Both couples received an impressive score of 35 out of 40 for their performances in Blackpool on Saturday night, but, with they and Will Mellor getting the same score, resulting in a three way tie, the 'middle of the leaderboard' curse struck again.
After both of their fates had been revealed by host Tess Daly during the Strictly results show, Tyler and Dianne and Molly and Carlos reprised their routines, before the outcome, as it always s, was put in the hands of the judges. The result went right to the wire as, after Craig Revel-Horwood and Motsi Mabuse both opted to save Molly, Anton forced head judge Shirley Ballas to use her casting vote as he saved Tyler.

Taking her time with her decision, Shirley eventually opted to keep Molly and Carlos in the decision, with the result swiftly becoming a contentious subject online, as upset fans were quick to air their opinions on Twitter. And, among those quick to hit out at Tyler's exit was former Strictly pro James/.
James attracts a lot of attention for his weekly verdicts on Strictly and didn't hold back with his disapproval of what happened, tweeting: "ROBBED !!! Wrong couple saved And that’s nothing against Molly as I’ve always head her back when she’s been in the dance off before. And I think she’s great However - Tyler and Dianne were far superior in that dance off. I will ALWAYS speak the truth." HE then added: "100% NO QUESTION TYLER AND DIANE WERE BETTER Even with his small mistake - and it’s not up for discussion or an opinion ITS A FACT."
James' tweets immediately gathered plenty of responses, with many agreeing with him.. One fan replied: "100% agree Molly didn't look like she wanted to be there, she was all over the place. Tyler and Diane were the better dancers in the dance off. Absolute fix and gutted," with another reacting: "Totally agree. That’s me done with it for this year. Normally would watch the whole series but not after this nonsense. Not the first time Dianne been prematurely put out either."
