Strictly in new fix row as fans claim bosses ‘want to get rid of’ popular star after spotting ‘clue’
STRICTLY has been plunged into a new fix row, with fans claiming bosses ‘want to get rid of’ Tasha Ghouri.
BBC viewers think they’ve spotting a ‘clue’ Tasha Ghouri, 26, is doomed to be eliminated from the competition after her dance was announced.
The former Love Island star and her show partner Aljaž Škorjanec, 34, are set to Waltz to (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin and Salsa to Something New by Girls Aloud.
But, after the news was revealed on Instagram along with the other cast members, Tasha’s fans slammed bosses for giving her a ‘boring’ Waltz.
One commented: “They really want to get rid of Tasha now, giving her a boring Waltz at this point in the competition.”
Another agreed: “I agree, and I’d have bet any money that she’d have had the jive and not the waltz, she’s very weak in ballroom. The only good thing is, in both jive and tango she’s not allowed to be airborne so she’ll have to actually dance.”
Someone else said: “If lifts are your thing, it will be good but for me it gets boring if all it is is that. But your right about opinion, each to their own.”
It hasn’t been smooth-sailing for Tasha as her last performance was nearly thrown into chaos.
The reality star took to the dancefloor to perform an Argentine Tango to the musical Six.
At the end of the performance, Tasha, who was born deaf, could be heard telling Alijaz that her hearing implant had fallen out.
As she joined co-host Tess Daly to receive her feedback from the judges, Alijaz said: “The implant came out for a couple of seconds.”
Tess asked: “And you got it back in?”
An exhausted Tasha was seen catching her breath and then replied: “It came back in yeah,” as Alijaz added: “That you implant.”
“We would never have known,” Tess said.
But despite this hiccup, it went unnoticed by the judges and viewers at home and the pair managed to pull off an effortless performance.
Panelist Motsi Mabuse praised Tasha’s performance as “amazing”.
She gushed: “I will never stop celebrating you, I will celebrate you in the morning, evening and afternoon.
“When I see good dancing, I need to speak on it. That was on a whole different level.
“Those legs, those flips, that position. That was amazing.”
Head judge Shirley Ballas also gushed over Tasha’s routine – saying the “lifts” were impressive.
But admitted it was: “A little bit held, it was a little bit braced, stiff on the walks, could have softened the legs.”
She went on: “Moving forward, remember you’re our fluidity queen.”
Anton Du Beke braded it “outstanding”.
The pair received a impressive 38 points out of 40.
