Strictly 2017 viewers shocked by Craig’s “harsh” 4 for Aston

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood had a rollercoaster of a show on Saturday night.

One moment he was literally bowing at the feet of celebrity Debbie McGee after she earned the first perfect 40 of the series; the next he was awarding pre-series favourite Aston Merrygold a lowly ‘4’ for his week seven Waltz.

Ouch.

Many viewers were shocked and surprised by the low score – and made their feelings known on Twitter.

4 for @astonmerrygold isn’t just ridiculous, it’s rude #strictly

Bit harsh Craig giving Aston a 4 ????

I know it wasn’t his best but still #strictly

Still so annoyed by the underscoring in #Strictly in what world does Aston deserve a 4?!?! Sort it out!

I am completely shocked at those scores for Aston ???? #strictly

Craig also scored fellow Strictly celeb Ruth Langsford a ‘4’ – which annoyed Aston fans even more given that Ruth and Anton Du Beke fell over during their performance.

I'm sorry but HOW could Craig score Aston and Ruth the same? RIDICULOUS! ???????????????? #Strictly

Craig gives Ruth and Aston a 4! I love both but their dances and skill are miles apart! Unfair marks really #Strictly
