<\/p>\nStrictly Come Dancing fans have taken to social media to all make the same complaint about Angela Rippon's routine on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
The 79 year old and her dance partner Kai Widdrington were awarded 28 points for their Waltz and received criticism from the judges. <\/p>\n
The former journalist and Kai were then saved after being left in a dance-off against Adam Thomas and Luba Mushtuk, who were sent home.<\/p>\n
Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their opinion that Angela had been given "slower" routines compared to the rest of the celebrity contestants in the competition. <\/p>\n
Other viewers also suggested that the Plymouth-born star was left "fuming" following negative feedback from the judging panel.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
One person said: "Angela and Kai are 'lucky' – they\u2019ve been very protected with the choice of dances. Which means jive, salsa, samba are in their near future." <\/p>\n
Another chimed in: "#strictly also can we stop giving Angela obvious slow dances she\u2019s gonna be okay at." <\/p>\n
A third agreed, saying: "Another slow slow for Angie. I like her lots tho\u2019 #strictly." A fourth added: "It was a nice dance, but she needs to do a variety, not just slow dances."<\/p>\n
While the judges did have some praise for the performance, the duo also faced a lot of criticism. <\/p>\n
Anton du Beke said: "It was beautiful and elegant, but it was a little bit abrupt because the side step needs to be wider."<\/p>\n
"I thought your footwork was a little bit wobbly," Craig Revel Horwood added. <\/p>\n
Motsi Mabuse told Angela to "push it more and don\u2019t play safe," while Shirley added: "Lovely stretch in the top line but you need parallel, closed feet."<\/p>\n

But some of Angela\u2019s fans were also left in disbelief that she ended up in the bottom three of the leader board, facing the dance-off for the first time this series. <\/p>\n
After hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly revealed that the pair would need to battle it out to save their place in the competition, one person said: "I feel like it\u2019s gotten to that point where everyone has reached a high level of dance, and unfortunately, in my opinion, Angela Rippon\u2019s dance was good, it just wasn\u2019t as memorable as some of the others." <\/p>\n
Another added: "Gosh, isn\u2019t Angela Rippon fantastically graceful?! I\u2019ll be so sad to see her leave. Fingers crossed for her and @Kaiwidd." <\/p>\n
A third viewer said: "Angela Rippon in the dance-off does not compute!" <\/p>\n
After the pair put on a graceful performance to Fascination by Nat King Cole, all four show judges decided to save Angela, instead voting out Emmerdale Adam Thomas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
