Strictly Come Dancing 2022 RECAP: Fan fury as Craig Revel Horwood scores Johannes and Ellie just three while Tony gets 4
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.
