BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans say 'what a shame' over Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola 'issue' with judges

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left saying 'what a shame' as they spotted an 'issue' between the judges and Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola.

The actress and the Italian professional dancer were among the five couples to make it through to the penultimate week of the BBC One dance contest which took place on Saturday night (December 7) and saw them perform two dances each.

The first dance from Miranda star Sarah and dancer Vito was a tango to Big Love by Fleetwood Mac. Craig Revel Horwood said the dance was “full of passion, purpose, intent” and the pair received 36 points out of a possible 40 from the judges.

While Motsi Mabuse agreed with Anton's critique, notoriously hard-to-please judge Craig claimed his fellow judges' comments were "absolute rubbish" as he said Sarah and Vito's routine was "full of energy, stamina, excitement, and fantastic".
