Viewers were not happy with last night’s results and a lot of them are blaming one judge in particular.
Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left disappointed with last night’s show after Mollie King and Aston Merrygold were revealed to be in the bottom two.
However, it was judge Shirley Ballas’ decision to save Mollie over bookies favourite Aston that had the audience up in arms.

Viewers were shocked when the judge saved the former The Saturdays singer over the consistently high-scoring Merrygold and took to social media to suggest the show is fixed.
Many are suggesting that the judge saved Mollie because of her strong relationship with her dance partner, AJ Pritchard.
The professional dancer has often shared pictures with Shirley Ballas on social media and refers to her as his “dance mum”.

Many viewers are now threatening to boycott the show after the shock results.
This was by far the biggest shock of the season with Aston being a huge favourite among viewers and bookies alike.
That shock result has left us spinning. RT to show your love for @AstonMerrygold and @JManrara 💖 pic.twitter.com/KJVszLhB2k
