Strictly fans fume in one-word complaint over Annabel Croft's routine
BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers have once again voiced their opinions on Annabel Croft's latest 'emotional' routine in the ballroom.
The former tennis ace continued her journey in the BBC One dance contest on Saturday night alongside Johannes Radebe. They were among the four remaining couples to perform in the quarter-finals' Musicals week special after major changes had to be made following Nigel Harman's sudden exit from the competition.
The actor and his professional dance partner Katya Jones had to withdraw from Strictly 2023 as he sustained a rib injury that left him in A&E. As a result, no elimination will take place this weekend with the couples still performing for the judges scores which will be carried over to next weekend's semi-finals when two dances stand between each couple and making it to the final and potentially lifting the Glitterball trophy.
Strictly Come Dancing's Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe (BBC)During last night's emotional episode, Annabel and Johannes danced a foxtrot to the track For Good from the musical Wicked. The sportswoman donned a black dress with a sparkly top and flowing skirt while her face was painted green to transform into the Wicked Witch Of The West for the dance.
Their dance, which ended with her walking off the dance floor with a suitcase, earned them a score of 33. Anton Du Beke praised her frame as "the best in the whole competition" and said their performance mirrored their relationship "perfectly".

Craig Revel Horwood pointed out that she's not an actor like the other competitors, so conveying emotions as she did was "no mean feat". Strictly fans quickly took to social media to share their thoughts, with many feeling emotional and others believing Annabel and Johannes deserved a higher score for the performance – with them all using one word to react to the judges' scores.
One viewer posted: "Soooo under marked and Annabel really showed all the progress she's made in this one dance. Exquisite." Another wrote: "Undermarked for me, it was beautifully danced, and the choreography was divine. More Jojo foxtrots please!"
A third commented: "That was beautifully danced, I just love the partnership between them! I personally felt this was underscored though." While another shared: "Beautiful dance, totally undermarked again."
Another viewer said: "Everytime they dance i always get emotional, it was so special, i think it deserved a higher score." Reflecting the sentiment, another added: "Undermarked again. Such a beautiful dance - they melted my heart again. They're my winners. @Annabel_Croft and @jojo_radebe #Strictly @bbcstrictly."
