Former Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan slams the show after Claudia Fragapane is voted off in the semi final
James has claimed the BBC dancing show is fixed after Olympian Claudia got the boot
FORMER Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan has launched a scathing attack on the show.
James made the comments after Claudia Fragapane lost out to Danny Mac in the semi-final dance off.
Shortly after the judges chose Danny to stay in the competition professional dancer James went online to make his feelings clear.
He tweeted: “There is just one more thing I would like to say.....
“I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED STRICTLY…But I will no longer be watching.
“Some people will say bitter, but I can't watch something I feel is unfair.”
Speaking about show favourite Danny, James added: “One last thing..... I guarantee Danny will NOT win!!!
“But they needed him in the final because he's the best by far Will periscope soon.”
He later added: “Claudia not doing the Strictly Tour #justsaying”.
When contacted about the allegations, a Strictly spokesperson told The Mail: “Each judge scores each dance independently, based on its merits and in their expert opinion.”
Earlier in the evening some fans were in uproar after it emerged Claudia would be leaving the show.
A problem with the phone lines meant some fans struggled to register their vote and they begged bosses to put through all four acts to make up for it.
Olympian Claudia was in tears when she left the show but spoke fondly about her time working with AJ Pritchard.
Talking to Tess about her Strictly experience she said: “I can’t believe I made it this far to be honest.
"Everyone is so lovely and I’m just so happy that I’ve made it this far and everyone has just been incredible people, and to come out and not be as confident as I was, I feel like a different person now, all thanks to this show.”
When Tess asked if she had any words for her professional partner AJ, Claudia added: “Oh you have been absolutely amazing, you really have pushed me to the best of my ability.
"You have been so lovely to me and you’ve really boosted my confidence and it’s all thanks to you.”
