STRICTLY Come Dancing fans were fuming after judge Craig Revel Horwood scored Johannes and Ellie just three points - and gave Tony a 4.

The show's own Mr Nasty was back in full force on Saturday night's show.

Strictly fans flocked to Twitter after Craig said Johannes' dance 'lacked passion.'

One Tweeted: "Three. Just three!"

Another said: "That was cruel."

Meanwhile fans feared Fleur East could end up in the bottom two again after an 'odd song choice.'

The X Factor star will be dancing to Elton John's 'I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues', and fans were less than impressed.

Other Strictly stars have been given more upbeat tracks with Helen & Gorka doing the jive to ‘Tightrope’ by Janelle Monáe.

  • Hamza's incredible locks cause 'concern' it could 'interfere' with dancing

    Dr Jill Rose Jacobs began: "This may be a note for the hair and makeup team but Hamza's long locks are a concern."

    The television presenter has an incredible head of long dread locks, that he hasn't cut for around 17 years.
