Strictly Come Dancing: Fans claim fix as they notice strange clue – did you spot it?

Strictly Come Dancing saw the remaining contestants take on their musical inspired routines this evening as they hoped to impress the judges and make it through to next weekend’s quarter finals. However, some fans spotted a strange clue in this evening’s evening’s opening credits which they dubbed “spooky”. 

This evening’s show saw Karim Zeroual score the first 40 of the series as Craig finally reached for his ten paddle.

Some eagle-eyed viewers noticed something in the opening titles this evening which led to them questioning whether the show was fixed.

The first five celebrity contestants in the show’s titles are the final five contestants left in the show.

Fans were quick to comment their observation as they labeled it “spooky” and questioned whether it was just a coincidence.

As Craig felt there were some very minor timing issues, head judge Shirley Ballas hit back at his comments.

In response to Craig, she said: “I completely disagree with you Craig, you were absolutely in the pocket of the music, you were spot on with the timing!

“Your footwork was lovely,” she added.
