Strictly Come Dancing viewers are all saying the same thing about Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin ahead of the results show tonight.

The couple dazzled with their Argentine Tango on Saturday night and scored an impressive 39 points and Craig Revel Horwood was the only judge to give the pair a nine rather than a ten- but it seems many disagree.

Following the routine, fans took to social media to complain about the judge’s scoring, with many arguing the dance was more than worthy of a perfect score.

One viewer wrote: “This not getting a 40 has got to be one of the biggest injustices in Strictly history. The judges (except Crag) were all right- it was special, stunning, absolutely floored me and took me somewhere completely.”

Another said: "I can’t imagine what this boy has to do to get a 10 from Craig. Dear god if that wasn’t perfection I have no idea what is!!!”.

While a third commented: “This should have been tens tens tens across the board. Just OUTSTANDING.”

Layton and Nikita received a standing ovation from Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse, who were blown away by the performance.

Motsi said: "That happens once in a lifetime to me. That was epic, iconic, it will never be done like that again. That was special and I mean special in the whole world of the Strictly Come Dancing type of competition. That was the bomb."

Head judge Shirley added: "All over the world, I've seen all sorts of competitions, not even just within Strictly. This goes beyond perfect and pure art. It's breathtaking… I'm lost in the Layton magic."

The results show, which airs tonight (12th November), is a big one for the remaining contestants as it will determine who goes on to dance in Blackpool next week- a big milestone in the competition.
