It comes as fans expressed their anger last week claiming that the judges' decision to save Angela, 79, following the dance-off was a "fix". Angela and her professional dance partner, Kai, 28, were saved over Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Lauren Oakley by three out of four judges.

Taking to Twitter, now X, at the time, one person said: "Of course Strictly fixed it for Angela to stay in for Blackpool. Angela used to host Come Dancing for years...they're going to do a Come Dancing history special, then she'll be voted out. She tripped in the dance-off FFS."

Another wrote: "Sorry this is such a fix. How can you say 'Angela, you literally almost fell over. Krishnan you were significantly better but I'm still gonna save Angela?' This is such a fix. Never agreed with Shirley before wtf is going on?" while a different account furiously added: "What a stinking fix!"
