Strictly Come Dancing: Dominic Littlewood Accuses Judges Of Fixing!

Strictly Come Dancing 2007: Dominic LittlewoodTV presenter Dominic Littlewood was last night the fifth person to be voted off the Strictly Come Dancing TV show, but the cheeky chappy isn’t going to take it lying down.

Dominic has accused the shows judges of preplanning their scores and comments, making the live TV show a bit of a farce.

He told the Mirror: “Judges do have their favourites there. Out of those four there’s only one who talks sense and that’s Len Goodman.

“He doesn’t try to give cheap shots at people just to get a reaction. With the other three (Arlene Phillips, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood) I believe they watch dress rehearsals and they decide their vote there and then, and their comments.

“There’s no way they come out with those comments off the cuff. We’re all fairly certain that’s what goes on, which makes it a bit of a farce.”

He added: “My performance was almost flawless and I still got 25. Matt Di Angelo stumbled, yet he got 32.

“But I was quite happy to go, I didn’t want to stay in a circus like that. We were puppets and they’re just pulling the strings and you’re dancing around and they come up with their stupid comments.”

    Tom & Camilla would have been eliminated by the JUDGES after the semi-final dance off because Tom had a poor showing that week, compared with Rachael and Lisa. He was saved because the voting was suspended, and all three contested were allowed to go through to the final.
    Once if the final, Tom was then almost GUARANTEED to win because the outcome was down solely to the public vote (mostly women) and thus his popularity would gift him victory.
    I really like Tom as does my wife, but we both could see Rachael was the better dancer over the series (the scores repeatedly proved that). She was cheated out of victory by the semi-final voting farce. Tom got the least points in the semi-final and final competition, but still won.
    The blame is with the BBC though not Tom and Camilla.
