Strictly Come Dancing fans have revealed their feelings after claiming to have noticed a trend in the week four dances following a number.
Ahead of Saturday’s show, Strictly bosses have revealed the routines and songs that will be performed by each couple, with the number of performers now reduced to 13 following the exit of Les Dennis and Nikita Kanda.
Saturday’s performances will include GB News’s own Angela Rippon performing the rumba, Lleyton Williams playing the cha cha and Annabel Croft playing the jive.
When it comes to front-runner Nigel Harman, he and his partner Katya Jones will be hoping to impress with Elvis Crespo’s Salsa Tu Suavemente.
This means that Herman will have performed a Latin-themed routine in three of the four weeks he has competed so far.
His paso doble in the first week sent him to the top of the leaderboard with a score of 32, while the jive in the third week was a slightly less impressive performance, as he and Jones scored a 25 and finished in 11th place.
Between the two Latin routines, Harman and Jones competed the Viennese Waltz, which put them in the middle of the pack with 27 during the second week.

While it’s not likely that Herman’s Latin dance performance will propel him up the leaderboard, the fact that 75 percent of the dances after four dances will be in that particular style has caught fans’ attention.
In the comments section of the Instagram clip unveiling week four’s dances, one fan wrote: “Another fiery Latin for Nigel, I think they should change the ballroom to Latin every week!
“Or just look at how it used to be when half the people did the same Latin and the other half did the same ballroom, so that’s fair!”
Another quickly agreed: “Yeah, it’s not fair when some of them keep getting dance styles to suit them!”
A third echoed the original poster, saying: “It’s an advantage for Nigel that he’s getting dances that maybe he didn’t like before.
“He’s so popular that his fans will vote for him regardless.”
This is not the first time that Harman has been embroiled in favoritism controversy; earlier in the series, fans claimed that he and Amanda Abbington were given different routines from any of their fellow contestants to help them stand out.
Other complaints about the routines so far in this series include many viewers feeling that pro dancer Gorka Marquez was “sewn in” with her and Kanda’s routine, which led to her departure from the series.
While fans will have to tune into Saturday night’s show to see if Herman can impress with another Latin routine, bettors think she has what it takes to not only avoid elimination but reach ballroom glory. There are things.

According to Ladbrokes, Harman is currently headed at 7/4 to lift the Glitterball, with Bobby Brazier close behind at 3/1 and Angela Scanlon at 5/1.
However, it looks like week four could be the end of the road for Jodie Cundy who is the hot favorite to follow in Dennis and Kanda’s footsteps.
