‘He clearly hates him’ claim Strictly fans as they spot feud between judge and contestant that’s raged on for WEEKS
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans think they have uncovered a secret feud between one of the judges and Bobby Brazier.
Some viewers of the BBC dance contest have speculated that Bobby has been on the receiving end of unfair criticism and 'targeting' from one member of the panel.
They have called out Craig Revel Horwood and have declared that he has a 'strong hatred' for the model and EastEnders actor on the show.
Bobby, and dance partner Dianne Buswell, have managed to make it all the way to this weekend's final.
The pair are hoping to impress with three dances in the show final but they narrowly missed out after Craig opted to send the pair home over tennis ace Annabel Croft and her partner Johannes Radebe.
Despite scoring Bobby more than Annabel, he shocked the nation when he said he would have axed the young star and dashed his chance of making it to the final.
It comes following criticism that Craig has 'repeatedly undermarked' the star for his dances, more often than not giving a lower score than that of his fellow judges - Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke.
Taking to X - formerly Twitter - to point out the 'feud', one fan penned: "I can respect Craig's choice to save Annabel, but for me it was obvious for weeks that he doesn't like Bobby, so he wasn't going to save him."
Another referenced Nigel Harman's rattled demeanour after Craig's comments towards him as they insisted despite Craig's "nasty" comments to Bobby that he had always managed to keep his head held high.
The fan said: "Bobby's been underscored every week and Craig has been really nasty towards him, and not once has he behaved so ungracious like Nigel has."
A third bluntly wrote: "Craig really doesn't like Bobby. He saved Annabel who he underscored every week. He's a two faced git."
Bobby and Dianne will go head-to-head with Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, along with Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin for the win this weekend.
Ahead of the final, fans have been left convinced that Bobby has fallen for his pro partner Dianne.
The pair were spotted leaving rehearsals where he was seen with a picture of him and Dianne as his phone lock screen.
The EastEnders actor, 20, and Dianne, 34, have sparked speculation throughout the series and sent fans wild when they appeared to kiss after their performance earlier last month.
