Strictly fans claim star was ‘overmarked’ at Blackpool as show is hit by new fix row
FURIOUS Strictly Come Dancing fans were left fuming as they claimed a celeb was ‘overmarked’.
Sarah Hadland and pro partner Vito Coppola performed a Couple’s Choice routine in Blackpool‘s iconic Tower Ballroom.
The pair scored 39 – receiving 9 from Craig Revel Horwood and 10 from the other judges respectively.
This placed them joint top of the leaderboard along with Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec‘s Paso Doble.
Viewers hit out at the judges’ scoring decision, taking to X in their droves to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “Sarah and Vito not my cup of tea. She’s started face pulling now. WTAF have I just watched.
“I wish I’d have watched golf now. OVERMARKED as per usual. FIX.”
Another added: “Strictly doesn’t do itself any favours when viewers claim the show is rigged for Sarah & Vito.
“As a huge fan of them both that routine is not worthy of 39 points, there was zero dancing involved.
“It was more a stage production. Am I missing something?”
A third penned: “Best Blackpool week I beg to differ more like the most overmarked week.”
While a fourth chimed in: “The difference in both is obvious, Sarah was overmarked. #Strictly.”
This is not the first time Strictly viewers have accused the BBC show of “overmarking.”
Last week, fans completely disagreed with Tasha Ghouri‘s score of 37.
The 26-year-old and pro partner Aljaz performed the Quickstep to Mariah Carey‘s “Fantasy.”
Not satisfied, a fan penned on X: “Tasha & Aljaz didn’t deserve 10s I’m sorry.”

A second person commented: “As usual Tasha was good, yawn.
“Sorry I just find her really dull to watch, there’s been zero journey and I feel like the judges are favouring her massively.”
“Tasha and Aljaz was Overmarked. I agreed with Craig on this one.”, remarked a third.
