Strictly Come Dancing fans were far from impressed over the weekend when Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey became the latest celebrity to be sent home
Strictly Come Dancing fans think they’ve worked out why La Voix was saved. On Sunday night, fans of the BBC dance programme were left stunned when Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey was sent home following a tense dance-off.
During the results show, which is filmed shortly after the live programme, La Voix and her partner, Aljaž Škorjanec, and Harry, as well as his professional partner, Karen Hauer, danced for a second time after receiving the fewest votes from the public.
Head judge Shirley Ballas, and fellow judges Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse all decided to save La Voix and Aljaž, to keep them in the competition.
However, it’s no secret that La Voix has had her eye on the presenting position after it was announced that current hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be leaving this year.
Now, fans believe that La Voix could be lined up for the position and this could be the reason that they were saved in the dance off to increase their air time and publicity. Taking to social media, one said: “La Voix?? Is that because she’s being lined up as a future presenter?”
A second added: “100 per cent La Voix and Aljaž should have gone home. Harry and Karen were definitely the better dancers. The judges are clearly only saving La Voix because she’s going to be the new Strictly Come Dancing presenter.” Meanwhile, a third tweeted: “I agreed, I was shocked they were all in consensus.”
But a fourth disgruntled fan went on to fume: “That Strictly dance off tonight was a fix! How has La Voix been saved over Harry?? Harry robbed. ABSOLUTELY FUMINGGGGG. Like I sometimes don’t understand what goes through them judges heads… #StrictlyComeDancing.”
During a previous episode, La Voix stated live on eair that they wanted Claudia’s job when she departs at the end of the season. Following her Icons Week performance as Cher, La Voix headed upstairs to chat with Claudia.
“Claudia, while I’ve got you, do you know the address when you send your CV to the BBC?,” she asked, before adding: “Just in case any new jobs are coming up. Just asking for a friend.”
Traitors host Claudia found the comment extremely amusing as she quipped: “Give it a go, babe, let’s do it now.” But La Voix took the opportunity and delivered one of Claudia’s signature sign-offs. Looking down the camera, she said: “Tess,” as she handed back to Daly to continue presenting the show, with Claudia being left in fits of laughter.
Fans were left in fits of laughter after the moment. “La Voix stealing the entire show with one single word, omfg, forget the glitter ball, give her the job,” said one. A second went on to type: “She’s this generation’s Lily Savage.”
“She would be ace on this show,” commented a third. Another tweeted: “Brilliant – seriously, this could be a great choice! And as another post – Alan Carr who is brilliant on Celebrity Traitors – such quick wit.” As a fifth penned: “She has the sarcastic wit of Bruce Forsyth, love it, make a great replacement for Claudia.”
