Strictly Come Dancing viewers react to "harsh" Lawrence Robb scores
Strictly Come Dancing viewers have expressed frustration over the judges' low scores for contestant Lawrence Robb during movie week. While some fans felt the scoring was harsh, others agreed with the judges' technical critiques regarding his dance form.
Why it matters
The show is a major cultural touchstone in the UK, and viewer engagement with judging decisions often drives social media discourse and television ratings.
Strictly Come Dancing has returned this weekend for movie week and for some of the couples the scores are in, but not all viewers are happy about it.
Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb performed a Viennese Waltz to Le Festin from Ratatouille alongside professional dancer Jowita Przystał - but the judges weren't wholly convinced.
The couple received 19 points , the lowest awarded from Craig Revel Horwood and Shirley Ballas
"You are wonderful when you're out of hold," Anton Du Beke began. "All your open work is magnificent. The storytelling is beautiful and I love it. We've got to work on you in hold, I know Jowita is a little bit shorter than you but it shouldn't make a difference."
