BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans say it's 'bonkers' in scoring row as they claim judges 'all over the place'

Strictly Come Dancing's judges sparked a scoring row among viewers as they claimed their latest marks were 'all over the place'. The hit BBC One dance contest returned to screens on Saturday night (October 12) as week four of the competition got underway.

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman were seen kicking off the latest live show before the 13 remaining couples were seen returning to the ballroom for the next live performance after an epic Movie Week special last weekend and the exit of Toyah Wilcox and Neil Jones.

It was Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu who kicked things off as they performed the Cha Cha to Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use) by Sub Sub feat. Melanie Williams. As it came to an end the judges praised the former X Factor winner for his routine, but there was some criticism.

Meanwhile, Nick Knowles returned to the dancefloor after the DIY SOS star was only cleared to perform 24 hours before returning to the ballroom on Saturday night (October 12).

Nick was unable to take part in last weekend'smovie-themed special due to injury. He injured his knee after falling during rehearsals but was cleared to dance by the medical and physio teams, the BBC announced on Friday (October 11).

Nick thanked everyone for taking care of him behind the scenes after finishing his dance with dance partner Luba Mushtuk as the pair danced to Rain on the Roof from Paddington 2, which earned them a score of 21 from the judges.

But throughout the evening, Strictly fans weren't happy with Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabus, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke's scoring.
