James Jordan has taken aim at the Strictly Come Dancing judges following their “bizarre” decision to send Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer home.<\/p>\n

Sunday night’s results show saw the fourth contestant sent home from the competition following the previous evening’s live episode, which saw nerves affect many of the stars.<\/p>\n

But it was presenter and comedian Eddie and his pro partner Karen who left the BBC competition after a tense dance-off with Zara McDermott and Graziano Di Prima.<\/p>\n

And former Strictly pro James \u2013 who appeared as a professional from 2006 to 2013 \u2013 believes the decision to send Eddie and Karen home was the wrong one.<\/p>\n

James, 45, explained in his Strictly the Truth column for Hello! Magazine: “It was definitely the right decision that he was in the bottom two with Zara. I think the public got that right, but the judges didn’t get their part right.<\/p>\n

“They have one job at that point to judge the dance-off, not who they think’s been the best over the series. If they were judging the dance on the night, I would say they probably got it right because Eddie made quite a lot of mistakes in his dance on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“And then on Sunday, he came out, made no mistakes, was a much better routine. But in my opinion, the judges got the dance-off wrong. They sent the wrong person home. But it was four to zero.”<\/p>\n

James continued by saying that he found the outcome “really bizarre”, as it was “clear” that Eddie was better in the dance-off.<\/p>\n
