EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick has missed out on a place in the Strictly Come Dancing quarter-final as he becomes the ninth contestant to leave the show.

The actor, 30, and his professional partner Michelle Tsiakkas faced the dreaded dance-off against Olympian Montell Douglas , 38, and her partner Johannes Radebe during Sunday's results show.

Jamie and Michelle reprised their graceful foxtrot to Stand By Me by Ben E King, which landed them a score of 32 from the judges during Saturday's live show.

Fans were perplexed and took to social media to claim that Jamie should have made it to the final.

'Jamie and Michelle have been absolutely robbed here. Should've been quarter-finalists, semi-finalists and finalists 😢 #Strictly,' said Hannahhou on X.

'Poor Jamie. He was under marked and over criticised the whole series. He should never have been in the dance off. He can leave with his head held high and his dignity intact #Strictly #SCD #StrictlyComeDancing,' said Mabel_Mouse_.

'Gutted. Ain't no way Jamie deserves to be in the bottom this week, he was absolutely brilliant. Sometimes the British public get it SO wrong and this is one of those times 😔😔😔' commented AAngels05.

Some commenters also suggested that Pete Wicks should not have made it through to the quarter-final. Responding to some of the negative comments about his dancing skills, Pete admitted on social media that he agreed that he wasn't as strong a dancer as some of his fellow competitors.
