Strictly Come Dancing had a record amount of viewers this weekend as the nation watched on to see how Seann Walsh and Katya Jones would act following THAT public kiss last week.

After performing one of the most nonsexual routines ever seen on Strictly Come Dancing, Seann and Katya made it through to next weekend's show, despite being the favourites to be axed following the drama.

HOWEVER, after Katie Piper and her professional partner Gorka Márquez were axed from the show following a dance-off with Charles Venn, viewers took to social media to vent their anger, with some calling it a 'fix'.

Despite a few mistakes in their Charleston routine, Seann and Katya were scored high by the judges, finishing in fifth place on the leaderboard, with a score of 28. As the judges scores are added to the viewer votes, many believe the judges were told to score the pair high to ensure they weren't eliminated.

One Twitter user wrote, 'Considering #StrictlyComeDancing does not release the amount of public votes I highly doubt that even if Sean & Kajta were not voted for that the producers wouldn’t put them in the final. #StrictlyFix #GlossOver Show the numbers of who the public vote for'. sic

Another added, '#StrictlyFix Can't believe for one minute that the UK public voted for Sean hmmm' sic, with another viewer writing, 'The judges over marking Seann and Katya to make up for the lack of public votes. #Strictly'. sic

Another angry viewer then added, 'Of course Seann and Katya survived if they went this week the shows viewing figures would plummet! Votes are all rigged people. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they get to the finals to keep the viewers. Sad state of affairs......whoops #Strictly #strictly2018 #SeannandKatya'. sic

After show host Tess Daly announced the results, it seems as though Seann and Katya were equally surprised that they'd made it through, reacting in shock at the news.

It comes after Seann and Katya both publicly apologised for their actions on Strictly: It Takes Two last week, after Seann's girlfriend Rebecca Humphries dumped him in a furious Twitter statement.

Although it hasn't yet been revealed what the pair will be performing next weekend, no doubt all eyes will be on Seann and Katya once again! đź‘€
