Strictly’s Dianne Buswell feels like she ‘let Dev down’ as she insists Dev ‘didn’t deserve’ axe
STRICTLY professional Dianne Buswell feels like she "let down" her axed dance partner Dev Griffin.
The 30-year-old has insisted he "didn't deserve" to be booted off the show after just four weeks.
"So sorry to see you so upset Dianne", a fan messaged her on social media last night.
She replied: "It’s only because I believed in him so much.
"He was a real lovely guy who tried so so hard and I feel like he didn’t deserve this."
Some of her followers were involved in a spat online as they argued about how much Dianne cared about her celebrity partner.
Defending the dancer, one said: "She cares very dearly for everyone she knows and was absolutely devastated because she thought her and dev would go far.
"She feels like she has let him down."
Dianne liked the sweet tweet as she interacted with fans on Twitter.
Sharing a video of her appearance on It Takes Two with Dev, Dianne wrote: "Still can’t believe we have gone!!!! I’ll miss teaching you xx."
Fans have been left furious by the popular pair's shock exit.
Some have even set up a petition to get the BBC to release their voting stats as they labelled the result a "fix".
Many fans complained they couldn't get through to the voting lines to back Dev on Saturday night.
Strictly bosses tweeted at the time: "There's a high volume of calls, so if you don't get through first time keep trying! And remember you can vote online".
