Furious Strictly fans spark new show fix row as Zara McDermott is landed with ‘hardest dance’ saying ‘she’s going home’
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have hit out at the show claiming that Zara McDermott is being forced out of the show.
The dances for the Halloween show have been revealed and Zara's fans believe she's being stitched up.
Zara and her professional partner Graziano di Prima will be performing the Charleston to 'Jeepers Creepers' by Al Donahue & His Orchestra.
But some fans believe this will be too tricky and she risks falling into the bottom two for a third time.
"Yeah, Zara is absolutely fooooked. There are some latin/faster dances I could see her pulling off, but a Charleston is not one of them," one wrote on a Reddit thread discussing Halloween night.
"I'm guessing both her and Angela will get the same approach, tons of tricks and as little footwork as possible to try and make the best of the situation, but... Woof," they added.

Another said: "Zara and Angela R have done very well to avoid party Latin since week 1 but they can’t avoid it forever so whichever one lasts longest-Angela R-is going to have a lot of it left for the second half of the series.
"I’m not sure either of them have even got the gusto for great Charleston’s either," they continued.
A third wrote: "Zara Charleston (scared face emoji) good luck to her".
Others suggested that Zara or Angela Rippon would find themselves in the bottom two.

"Zara and Angela R in the dance-off based off the dances," a fourth added.
The reality star-turned-documentary maker was shocked last week when she found herself in the bottom two.
After giving it her all in the dance-off against Eddie Kadi, she was saved by all of the judges.
Eddie and Karen performed their Samba to Calm Down by Rema and Selena Gomez.
Following their performance, Zara and Graziano showcased an American Smooth to Can't Fight The Moonlight by LeAnn Rimes, both aiming to impress the judges and secure their spot in the competition.
However, some fans have accused the show of being fixed.
One fan took to X, formerly Twitter and wrote: "#strictly I personally believe that Karen isn't choreographing good dances for Eddie on purpose ..
"But maybe I'm wrong but each dance feels awkward af. Doesn't feel like she's trying to play to his strengths".
Another fan tweeted: "Impossible when the show Now allows 'PROFESSIONAL DANCERS...!!!!'
"This makes a total Mockery of a judging panel, the scores, a Winner with a Trophy! So Unfair & so Fixed..."
A third fan added: "Strictly Is Fixed".
