Strictly fans convinced they’ve worked out the ‘real reason’ contestant is overmarked – and ‘know’ when they’ll be axed
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans reckon they know when one star is getting booted off the show.
Some have claimed Angela Rippon, 79, is being given easier dances and is then overmarked all in an attempt to get her to Blackpool.
Some fans took to Reddit with one writing: “Anyone else think it’s unfair how she gets special treatment?
“Her routines are always much easier than the rest, even her AT last week had slower choreography.
“But her Charleston was just ridiculous I’m sorry. It was entertaining but did not deserve those scores.
“She was sat down for most of it so she could catch her breath. If anyone else had done that they’d be ripped to shreds.”
Another fan added: “Her scores are ridiculous. I like her and I am blown away of what she is doing at her age,but the judges need to be so for real when it comes to her scores.”
A third fan said: “I can call what’s going to happen, they’ll be easy on her until Blackpool week and then they’ll drop the hammer on her.
“They want her at Blackpool but they don’t want her anywhere close to the final.”
The long-time TV host has wowed with her routines alongside pro partner Kai Widdrington, which included a jaw-dropping standing split during her debut performance.
Fans believe Angela R had been overmarked on numerous occasions. The TV presenter is Strictly’s oldest-ever competitor.
Last month, The Sun exclusively revealed Angela’s game plan.
Angela told us: “I look at the younger people and I know I’m not as fit or strong, that’s just a medical fact.
“But I play tennis, I go to Pilates and ballet classes, so I’m pretty fit for someone of my age.”
