Strictly fans convinced they’ve spotted ‘new feud’ as judge ‘undermarks and tells off’ celeb dancer | The Sun
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans are convinced they've rumbled a new feud between a judge and celebrity dancer.
The latest claims of on-set tension comes as viewers claimed a pairing were both undermarked and dealt with rudely after their performance on Saturday.
On social media and in fan forums, head judge Shirley Ballas has been accused of disliking actor Nigel Harman.
One person wrote on X: "Shirley really hates Nigel doesn’t she. #strictly."
Another posted: "Shirley hates Nigel… and isn’t afraid of showing it."
A third said: "Shirley was so rude to Nigel, she didn't give constructive criticism, she scolded him like a child as if he's a professional that should know better. She also said that she can't criticise for one and not another, but that's exactly what happens.

"I do think Shirley knows so much about dancing, but I feel she's too harsh on some people, not with what she's saying, but with tone."
Nigel and pro partner Katya Jones finished in the middle of the leaderboard with a 30 for their Cha Cha.
Love Island star Zara McDermott was the latest celeb to be axed, losing out to Adam Thomas in the dance-off.
Even though they scored a respectable score, the harsh critique of Nigel might be a result of 'overly generous' marking in the previous week.

Holby City star Nigel was left cringing following the performance as after kicking Katya's foot and admitting he "made the rest up".
Yet the judges – Shirley, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke – still heaped praise on them.
James blasted the panel for scoring him so highly.
Speaking to HELLO!, he fumed: "They went up, they got their scores, [Nigel] turns to Claudia and said, 'We should go wrong more often!'
"Even he is laughing at what the judges have scored him. Even he thinks it's a mockery.
"There's no point them sitting there. Let's get rid of the judges and just let the public vote for who they want because they didn't do their job."
