Strictly Come Dancing star calls out change to show : 'They took it away'

This weekend on Strictly Come Dancing, viewers were in disbelief when contestant JB Gill found himself in the dance-off against Paul Merson.

However, it wasn't just the unexpected bottom two which had fans reeling as many weren't thrilled with the big group number being cut from the beginning of the results show.

Instead, the episode kicked off with a recap of the night before and then went into announcing the saved celebrities. The professional group number was then shown mid-way through the show.

Former professional dancer on the show Ola Jordan has teamed up with Mecca Bingo to share her thoughts on the latest episode.

When discussing the recent change to the results show, the ex-BBC star had another issue bothering her.

When asked if she agrees with the show not kicking off with a group number on Sunday night, she replied: "I haven’t noticed the change-up in the results show.

"It’s not like you don't have the group number. The group number is still there, it’s just a different position.

"Other things bother me more like when the couples come down the stairs in the main show, they don't come down to the strictly music anymore."

Ola praised the iconic music, highlighting how it has been taken away from the programme during key elements.

She added: "For me, that's all about coming down with Strictly music. That's like the iconic thing, but they took that away.

"Tess and Claudia don't come down to Strictly music, nor do the judges, it's all random music now, which is weird for me. I find that weirder than the pro numbers at the beginning of the results show, I think."

During the results show, viewers saw Paul become the latest celebrity to leave the competition.

So far, Tom Dean, Toyah Willcox and Nick Knowles have all left the competition after landing in the bottom two.

Speaking about his time on the show, Paul told host Tess Daly: "It's been really good. For anybody I talk to, I would say you've got to go on this show. It's amazing - everybody. There's a Tottenham fan over there called Lincoln and even he's nice!

“It's been amazing, honestly, amazing. I loved every minute of it, I've had a great teacher. She's been amazing, absolutely amazing and I couldn't wish for a better coach. I've loved every minute of it.

“I can dance now - I've won because I can dance, I couldn't dance before and I can half dance now. It's a bonus, absolute bonus."

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday on BBC One from 6:25pm
