STRICTLY Come Dancing viewers were left fuming tonight as Viscountess Emma Weymouth became the sixth star to be eliminated from the show.
BBC broadcaster Mike Bushell triumphed in thedance offfor the second week in a row, butthe result, which was leaked overnight , left fans calling it a fix.
Emma and her pro partner Aljaž Škorjanec performed a Samba to Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber’s I Don’t Care but failed to impress the four judges who unanimously chose Mike and Katya Jones.
Craig Revel Horwood said: “Well, for me the most challenging and the better dance, I thought on this particular performance for me, I’d like to save Mike and Katya.”
Motsi Mabuse: “I’m going to choose a couple which I think everything they did was much clearer to read, much easier to follow and more prepared. I’m going to go with Mike and Katya. ”
Bruno Tonoili explained: “Purely based on tonight’s performance, more entertaining, richer, more powerful and something extraordinary happened, the celebrity actually covered for the professionals mistake; Mike and Katya. ”

“Thank you so much for every single second in rehearsals. On that dancefloor you surprised me positively every single week. Thank you so much. ”
