<\/p>\nEX-STRICTLY dancer James Jordan has insisted Adam Thomas was "stitched up" after being booted out of the competition on Sunday.<\/p>\n
James slammed the judges' scoring that left the Waterloo Road actor and Luba Mushtuk at the bottom of the leader board on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
James said: "Adam does a really difficult dance and does a great job\u2026 <\/p>\n
"I thought Luba did a fantastic job with the choreography and in fact, hid the fact how difficult Rumba can be.<\/p>\n
"I feel Adam was stitched up. That's my personal feeling."<\/p>\n
He continued: "There's no way he should have been bottom of the leaderboard. <\/p>\n "So if he was in the correct position, on the leaderboard, would he have ended up in the bottom two? I think probably not."<\/p>\n It comes as Strictly Come Dancing\u00a0viewers claimed the winner was fixed by producers after\u00a0Angela Rippon\u00a0won the challenge despite making a blunder.<\/p>\n The journalist and show host, 79, previously presented Come Dancing which was Strictly's predecessor.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The show was filmed in Blackpool and also aired on the\u00a0BBC, but none of the contestants were celebs or professional dancers.<\/p>\n Viewers have been left suspicious that producers wanted Angela to get through to the next round in\u00a0Blackpool\u00a0because of her history with Come Dancing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n This comes after\u00a0Strictly fans hit out at show bosses\u00a0for choosing Angela as the winner after claims that her waltz was full of mistakes and "very unsteady".<\/p>\n Adam\u00a0only lost the dance-off by one point, and many viewers have been angered by the decision.<\/p>\n 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."<\/p>\n Another hit out: "Pfft, clearly the Producers want Angela R to go to Blackpool. I\u2019d have saved Adam and Luba."<\/p>\n 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."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/newspress-collage-24650060-1699292253260.jpg\")
