Strictly’s Ellie Leach fights back tears after ‘mistake’ as fans slam judges for ‘harsh’ criticism,
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans think Ellie Leach has been "cursed" by the show's running order and left with lower marks than she deserved.
The 22-year-old was the first performer of the evening and scored 28 out of 40, facing a wave of stern criticism from the judges.One Reddit user said: "It's the curse of going first. If she had performed mid-show I'm certain she would have got straight 8s." Another added: "Agreed! The judges tend to mark the first dance harsher in comparison to the others though.One last viewer pointed out that Ellie's more challenging routine deserved a higher score, stating: "The judges don’t seem to consider how hard the routine actually is i think Ellie had quite a hard routine and still did remarkably well- she deserved more.
"Some contestants are overmarked when they have a really easy routine- for example nikita and gorka last week were rubbish but because the choreography was easier she still got an ok score.The ex-Coronation Street actress exuded high energy as she kicked off the performance alongside her dance partner, Vito Coppola, 31, delivering a lively samba to Barry Manilow's "Copacabana."
