Strictly fans furious as they blast judges for ‘under-scoring’ star – saying ‘that should have been four tens’

SARAH Hadland and Vito Coppola kicked off Musicals Week on Strictly tonight with a dance to Popular from Wicked.

Fans were in love with their electric performance to the song, and despite the duo receiving praise from the judges, many felt they had been underscored.

Sarah and Vito's Charleston was full of energy and included several intricate lifts.

Judges commended the telly star for having the vitality to be swung around on stage so vigorously despite being 50 years old.

Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse each awarded the performance a 9, while Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke gave it a perfect 10.

Although the pair did quite well, several fans were frustrated that they didn't receive a perfect score.

One viewer took to social media, fuming: "Sarah undermarked again! Should have got 40."

Another branded the scores a "joke", adding: "How was that not 4 10s for Sarah & Vito... it was absolutely BRILLIANT.

"What has she got to do to get 40??"

A third even questioned if the duo had done something to annoy the judges early on in the competition, asking: "So what do Sarah and Vito have to do to get 10s from Craig and Motsi?

"Thinking Claudia was right last week when she asked Craig what the beef with Sarah was. Undermarked yet again."

This comes after fans had previously claimed that Sarah and Vito had been given an unfair advantage by getting assigned a song from Wicked.

This is because the recent release of the highly-anticipated remake has made the song more relevant than others.

Although many people predicted this selection would land Sarah at the top of the leader board, it seems judges only have eyes for the actress's actual dancing skills.
