Strictly Come Dancing fans think BBC want couple gone after being forced to dance in 'death slot'

ok.co.uk:

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing have taken to social media during this week’s live show, speculating that BBC bosses are plotting to get rid of one of the couples, because they were given the ‘death slot’ in the running order of the competition on Saturday 5 October.

Regular viewers believe that the second dance of the night is cursed, with couples often going home after being the second couple on the dance floor, and on this week’s movie-themed show it was Toyah Willcox and her professional partner Neil Jones who danced the second dance of the evening.

One fan wrote: "A Samba and Toyah is in the death spot. OH DEAR!" Another added: "Toyah has the death slot, seems like they want her to go now that she's made it to Movie Week," while a third said: "Toyah and Neil death slot oh it’s over for them." A fourth commented: “Death slot.

Samba. Neil. Iconic terrible trio,” while a fifth summed it up: “Samba and death slot. Bye Toyah!” Toyah, 66, and Neil danced a samba routine to the song Poor Unfortunate Souls from the movie The Little Mermaid, and they scored four points from judges Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke, and just three from Craig Revel Horwood.Toyah’s husband, the musician and producer Robert Fripp, was in the audience and loudly booed when Craig gave out his score.
