Strictly fans convinced they’ve spotted a show feud as star ‘looks furious’ at judge’s comments
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans think Angela Rippon was unimpressed by criticism of her dance moves.
According to fans, the 79-year-old struggled to cope with feedback from the judges regarding her performance.
One fan wrote on Reddit: “The judges finally realised they can give her a decent score while also giving her realistic critiques.
“I do find them charming in a traditional ballroom dance but like Motsi said, it’s pretty one note at this point.”
Another fan added: “Looks like Angela doesn’t like criticism from those reactions.”
A third fan added: “She’s absolutely incredulous, isn’t she.”
A fourth fan penned: “You can tell Angela has not been criticised all competition. It needed to happen.”
One fan wrote on X/Twitter: “No question Angela Rippon is fit and agile etc but I think the question the judges should be asking is if someone half her age came out and done the same dance what would they say?
“Otherwise it’s not an equal playing ground, which we already know because of Layton.”
Strictly fans have previously accused the judges of overmarking Angela on her perfomances.
This came after Waterloo Road star Adam Thomas was bumped down on the leaderboard, and landing second from bottom with 27 points for his rumba, compared to Angela’s 28 for her waltz.
Frustrated fans think the judges were being too lenient when it comes to scoring Angela, which ultimately impacts where the other contestants fall on the scoreboard.
One angry viewer wrote: “There’s no point the judges gasping in shock. If they’d scored Angela Rippon properly Adam would’ve been higher up the table and might’ve swerved the dance-off.”
Angela is Strictly’s oldest ever contestant.
