Strictly Come Dancing has been hit by more fix claims from fans who say Anton du Beke was sent through to his first final unfairly on Sunday.

Many viewers were dismayed when TV presenter Anita Rani went out as Anton’spartner Katie Derham survived, despite finishing bottom, 8 points behind Anita.

But Len Goodman sent Anita home after the dance-off – even though fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood wanted to save her and partner Gleb Savchenko.

Anita had delighted audiences with her daring dances over the weeks which earned her a total of 400 points against Katie’s 364.

With an average of 30.7 points, in seven shows she beat Katie, who had an average of 28 points.

But Len said: “I’m just judging this on this one dance. Nothing that’s been, nothing that could be in the future or in the final, on this one dance.Another fan Steven Bruce said: “Another fix on Strictly. Judges were always going to put Anton in the final.”

And Keith Yeo blasted: “Come on. Anita was much better than Katie. Fix to get Anton in final.”
