STRICTLY fans are convinced Montell Douglas has had her fate sealed with a very difficult dance this weekend.

The Gladiators star, 38, is set to dance the notoriously hard rumba with pro Johannes Radebe for Musicals Week on Saturday night.

But some BBC fans think Montell has been given the “kiss of death” as the contestants gear up for the final.

Viewers took to online forum reddit, with one wroting: “I fear Montell has received the kiss of death.”

A second echoed: “Worried for Montell with a rumba this late in the series and her being in the bottom two so many times.”

“Oh they wanted Montell gone , this is the death sentence sadly. It’ll be her and JB bottom with her gone (you heard it here first),” a third said.

Another added: “Unless Montell scores 40 and is the last to perform… it’ll be her and JB at the dance-off.”

While someone else simply posted: “NOT THE RUMBA,” with a string of crying face emojis.

It comes after the judges were under fire once again with fans blaming them for this week’s shocking elimination.

The dance-off saw Jamie Borthwick and Montell go head-to-head for their place in the competition.

Jamie and pro partner Michelle Tsiakkas danced their Foxtrot to Stand By Me by Ben E. King, before Montell and Johannes performed their Quickstep to Get Happy by Ella Fitzgerald.

The judges all shared how difficult the decision was, but ultimately all decided to save Montell.

But fans think the unfair judgement of Jamie throughout the series influenced the result, accusing the four of being over critical and undermarking the EastEnders star, “setting him up” for failure.

Venting their frustrations on X, one wrote: “The judges getting their wish. Constantly heavy criticising Jamie now he’s bottom 2 #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing #SCD”

“Jamie shouldn’t be in the dance off,” said a second. “I wasn’t a fan, but the awful criticism he has had from 3 the judges has been awful. Craig always critiques everyone fairly, but the others obvious bias.”

A third wrote: “So I see that the judges engineered scoring landed Jamie in the bottom two even though he is one of the best dancers in there. They used the same method they did with Shayne!”

While a fourth said: “The Judges had it in for Jamie all series. Will never know why.”
