Strictly viewers rage at the 'unfair' first triple dance-off after Emmerdale star is axed despite not finishing bottom
Lawrence Robb and Jowita Przystal scored just 26 points out of 40 for their Ghostbusters tango, leaving them second from bottom on the leaderboard before the vote went unanimously against them.Lawrence Robb and his professional partner Jowita Przystal, whose elimination came after a triple dance-off — the first in Strictly's history — against two other bottom-placed couples.
Lawrence Robb, 34, and professional partner Jowita Przystal were axed from Strictly Come Dancing in a unanimous judges' vote after the show's first ever three-couple dance-off, despite their Tango to the Ghostbusters theme scoring just one point below rivals Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu. Fans erupted online accusing the BBC show of engineering an 'unfair' result, arguing Robb had been 'stitched up' by the song and dance pairing.
Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood all voted to eliminate Robb and Przystal; Motsi Mabuse confirmed she would have done the same.
The new format required judges to vote for the couple to eliminate rather than save — a rule change that intensified viewer fury.
Sir Ian McKellen provided a surprise cameo, reading from Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' over a Tame Impala track during the professionals' Halloween routine.
