BBC Strictly Come Dancing pro says Sam Quek 'didn't deserve' to be booted off show

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Strictly Come Dancing fans were hardly thrilled on Sunday evening when ex-Morning Live host Sam Quek and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin were eliminated from the BBC show.The pair, having garnered 29 points for their elegant Foxtrot, took to the stage with a Taylor Swift-themed number in celebration of Icons Week.Yet, their efforts didn't quite captivate the panellists, as Sam found herself languishing towards the bottom of the scoreboard, narrowly outdoing Pete Wicks and Jowita Przysta.On judgement day, Sam and Nikita faced off against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe in the dance-off, with the latter having bagged an impressive 35-point total for their Whitney Houston-inspired display.

Ultimately, arbiters Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas unanimously voted to continue Montell's journey, prompting Sam to the exit, reports the Express.

A differing view comes from past Strictly star Ola Jordan, who graced the dance floor from 2006 to 2015 and has partnered with Mecca Bingo to critique this latest departure.In response to whether Sams time was up, Ola contested: "No, she didn't deserve to go home.

I think it was probably one of her best dances, but at the same time, I think people probably thought she was safe, and that's why they didn't vote."It was quite a nice week for her, her dance wasn't offensive in any way, it was very pretty.
