Strictly Come Dancing has found itself at the centre of a 'fix' debate after fans on social media questioned one contestant's edge in the competition.

Former Love Island favourite Tasha Ghouri and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec wowed the judges with their cha cha, dancing to Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso', securing an impressive 30 points that put them up with the leaders on Saturday night.However, some viewers took issue with Tasha's background in dance, as she worked as a model and dancer before finding fame on TV, even taking up ballet at age three and later training in street dance.

Discontented tweets emerged with comments such as: "I love tasha but she isn't meant to be on the show because she is already a PROFESSIONAL DANCER. #Strictly," while others echoed the sentiment during the live broadcast, raising concerns over fairness.One viewer remarked: "Love Tasha Ghouri but bit unfair her being in strictly when she's a dancer? #Strictly," and another weighed in on the scoring: "Tasha was great and has the potential to be even better but come on, an 8?
