Strictly pro brands Adam Thomas' exit a 'stitch up' as he slams judges' scoring | The Sun
EX-STRICTLY dancer James Jordan has insisted Adam Thomas was "stitched up" after being booted out of the competition on Sunday.
James slammed the judges' scoring that left the Waterloo Road actor and Luba Mushtuk at the bottom of the leader board on Saturday.
He said Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse failed to give satisfactory reasons for awarding Adam just 27 points for his Rumba.
James said: "Adam does a really difficult dance and does a great job…
"I thought Luba did a fantastic job with the choreography and in fact, hid the fact how difficult Rumba can be.
"I feel Adam was stitched up. That's my personal feeling."

He continued: "There's no way he should have been bottom of the leaderboard.
"So if he was in the correct position, on the leaderboard, would he have ended up in the bottom two? I think probably not."
It comes as Strictly Come Dancing viewers claimed the winner was fixed by producers after Angela Rippon won the challenge despite making a blunder.
The journalist and show host, 79, previously presented Come Dancing which was Strictly's predecessor.

The show was filmed in Blackpool and also aired on the BBC, but none of the contestants were celebs or professional dancers.
Viewers have been left suspicious that producers wanted Angela to get through to the next round in Blackpool because of her history with Come Dancing.
This comes after Strictly fans hit out at show bosses for choosing Angela as the winner after claims that her waltz was full of mistakes and "very unsteady".
Adam only lost the dance-off by one point, and many viewers have been angered by the decision.
One disappointed fan wrote: "Bless Adam, he has such a good attitude. I would prefer he stayed over Angela. I think she'll go next, although the producers are desperate to get her to Blackpool."
Another hit out: "Pfft, clearly the Producers want Angela R to go to Blackpool. I’d have saved Adam and Luba."
A third called the dance off an "absolute sham", adding: "I'm gonna stick up for the Strictly judges. It is the producers who tell them who to save. The show executives want Angela in Blackpool."
