FORMER Strictly star Dan Walker has suggested that the BBC show is fixed, after his ex-professional partner, Nadiya Bychokova and her celebrity, Olympic gold medallist, Tom Dean were the first to be voted off.
The swimming ace found himself in the dance-off with singer Toyah Wilcox, but after the panel was initially divided, head judge Shirley Ballas chose to save Toyah in last night’s elimination.
But now Channel 5 news anchor Dan, who competed on the show in 2021, has branded the decision, “messed up.”
In a candid post he said: “What just happened on Strictly feels a bit messed up,”
He said: “Tom Dean’s departure will go down as one of THE early shocks. Lovely bloke who really could have become a great dancer. He looked like he was loving every second of it and Nadiya Bychokova looked like she loved teaching him.”
The news man was obviously disappointed on behalf of his former partner with whom he has remained friends since he appeared on the show, finishing in 5th place.
He continued: “I’m not an expert – and I’m happy for someone to explain – but how he lost that dance off is completely beyond my comprehension,” he continued. “Genuinely thought they could have gone a long way.”
And it seems that many people share his views.
One said “Gutted for Tom and Nadiya. I really think Tom would’ve improved. Didn’t deserve to go out first.”
Another said: Terrible decision, there was no jive in that ‘jive’, Tom deserved better!!
Meanwhile another said: “I’m with you Dan, awful decisions from the judges and you could even see that Toyah thought she was going, her dancing wasn’t good. It’s this sort of thing that really gets to the viewers.’
And another added: “I agree with you. I do dance. A lot more content in Tom’s routine. Sure he had some timing issues and Toyah did put a lot into the performance aspect, but IMO he was much closer to learning and performing the designated dance style, which surely is the main point of the show.’
After the difficult dance off, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse saved Toyah and Neil, while Anton Du Beke voted in favour of Tom and Nadiya.
But ultimately, the decision was left in the hands of head judge Shirley, who opted to save Toyah and Neil.
Following the episode, which was pre-recorded on Saturday, a downcast Nadiya took to Instagram to share an emotional post, cryptically alluding to suggestions that the result was a fix.
She said: “ “I really appreciate all the messages but I’m not ready to talk about what happened tonight just yet.”
Reflecting on his own experience, Tom, who looked visibly disappointed, said afterwards: “I’ve had the best time the last few weeks and getting to work with Nadiya has been incredible.
I wish I could have gone further and done more dances. I’ve had the most fun and I wish we could keep going longer and longer. We’ll still go out for loads of brunches I’m sure.”
As is tradition, the first week scores are rolled over and combined into the second week. Here’s how the leaderboard now looks after the combined scores
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN winger Ousmane Dembele has been axed by Luis Enrique ahead of Tuesday’s huge Champions League clash with Arsenal.
Dembele has widely been considered one of PSG‘s best players so far this season.
In six Ligue 1 appearances, the 27-year-old has scored four goals and provided four assists.
But despite his stellar form, he will not feature against Arsenal.
Dembele has been dropped from the PSG squad entirely ahead of the huge match.
Instead, Vitinha has been called up for the trip to London.
According to French outlet L’Equipe, Dembele had a blazing row with manager Enrique following PSG’s 3-1 win over Rennes on Friday.
Enrique criticised the winger for some of the decisions he made on the pitch during the match.
It led to a heated discussion which left the Spaniard furious.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was asked about the development during his pre-match press conference on Monday morning.

He responded: “We just got the news. We don’t know if it is true or not.
“But we prepare like we always do, but they have many other options.”
On the match itself, he added: “Everybody is looking forward to it. We missed it for a number of years, and last year was the first one after so many years that we had the experience to do it.
“The group stage is a bit different this season and the opposition we are going to face tomorrow is probably at the highest level that you can face in European football.
“But honestly, it’s a good opportunity for us to see how we deal with these nights, how prepared we are and how we can impose ourselves in this kind of context.”

On paper, it looks as though this could be a cricket score as Premier League champions Manchester City travel to face Slovan Bratislava.
Slovan Bratislava started life in the Champions League with a chastening 5-1 defeat to Celtic in their opener, conceding a whopping 17 efforts on goal and an xG of 3.56.
They have since recovered to win three matches on the bounce in their domestic league and scoring 12 goals in the process, but it doesn’t bode well that their entire squad is valued at roughly half of City’s record signing.
Although now is perhaps one of the better times to be welcoming Pep Guardiola’s side, who’ve won one of their last four and are missing the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri.
But the Cityzens should still have more than enough to register a comprehensive win on Tuesday, especially with talisman Erling Haaland spearheading the attack.
Manchester City are unbeaten in each of their last 11 Champions League away matches, while Bratislava’s last eight clashes in all competitions have yielded a colossal 40 goals at an average of five per match.

Given Slovan Bratislava were unable to prevent Celtic from knocking five past them in their Champions League opener, it looks highly unlikely that they’ll limit Manchester City to one or two this week.
The Cityzens haven’t been at their brilliant best in attack, but if things click then they should be more than capable of netting a handful. So we’re backing the visitors to score Over 4.5 Goals at 2/1.
If Manchester City are going to score a bunch, then you best believe striker Erling Haaland will net the majority of them.
The Norwegian, 24, has scored 10 goals in eight appearances this season – including two hat-tricks and a brace. He’ll have his sights set on winning the Champions League Golden Boot again and this looks the ideal opportunity to get a flurry of goals on the board.

CORONATION Street fans have slammed Gail Platt’s exit storyline, branding it ‘abysmal’.
Viewers know that Helen Worth, 73, will be leaving her iconic role as Gail after five decades.
Initially, it was reported Sean Wilson would reprise his role as Martin Platt, Gail’s ex-husband, for her final scenes.
However, this was later axed – with Cold Feet actor John Thomson returning as children’s entertainer Jesse Chadwick instead.
John is now back filming as Jesse while the storyline starts to take shape.
It comes as several have been left unimpressed with how Gail’s exit is being handled.
Taking to X, one wrote: “Utterly diabolical exit for Gail and of course, abysmal show!!!”
Another penned: “I really hate how #Corrie have written Gail’s exit.
“She would never leave to run off into the sunset with a man.
“Especially a man as forgettable as What’s-his-face. Truly abysmal.
“Helen Worth is lucky to see the back of this show. It will fall without her.”
While a third added: “Poor Gail, shameful excuse of a pitiful exit after 50 years of service she shouldve had one last big years worth of [storylines] leading to her exit with references and returns of important people from her past!!
“Then gave her the happy ending with her final husband as they move #Corrie.”
Actor and comedian John, 55, previously appeared as Jesse in the ITV soap from 2008 to 2010.
Although, in the character’s first stint, he was a love interest for Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver).
Helen previously confirmed she had signed her final contract and would leave the soap at the end of 2024.
By Carl Greenwood, Soaps Editor
Actress Helen made her first appearance on the cobbles in 1973 as Gail Potter – and has lived most of her life on them and what a life it’s been.
Beloved by millions through the last half a century, Helen created one of the most iconic characters on British television.
Behind only Ken Barlow co-star Bill Roache, Helen has appeared in more episodes of a television series than anyone else.
She’s had more weddings – and surnames – than almost anyone else and buried multiple husbands – all but one ended up dead.
Three kids, four grandkids and a serial killer husband (and brother) – Gail has been at the forefront of Corrie for decades.
She’s been imprisoned, framed for murder, almost murdered multiple times, she’s survived serial killers, her own children and a concerning addiction to olives.
Not to mention countless street brawls with frenemy Eileen Grimshaw.
But through it all she’s remained a Corrie icon and her exit will leave a colossal hole on the cobbles – much bigger than the sinkhole that opened up in her back garden.
New Coronation Street boss Kate Brooks has her work cut out to give Helen and Gail the epic goodbye she deserves.
The actress said: “This year felt like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world.
“The past 50 years have flown by and I don’t think the fact that I am leaving has quite sunk in yet.”
At the time, bosses teased that Gail will “bid farewell to Weatherfield in a major storyline for the Platt family”.
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and is available to watch on ITVX.
