Strictly Come Dancing viewers have been left fuming at their TV screens once again, as they seem to think actress is being judged too harshly.
The popular dance show was back for another instalment on Saturday night (November 24) as the remaining seven celebrities competed for their place in next week’s show.
During the programme, Sarah and her dance partner, Vito Coppola, took to the floor to dazzle fans with their energetic rumba.
But although her routine appeared to be a hit amongst viewers and those in the studio audience, Sarah and Vito’s dance left the judging panel fairly split, although they all agreed she performed excellently.
This was the case for judge Craig Revel-Horwood, who agreed that her dance was “very good” and “very solid”. Despite his favourable comments, he still felt it lacked “connection”.

He told the pair: “I felt it lacked chemistry. By that, I mean a connection, a real connection between you. I felt like you were just a whirling Derbyshire for technique and not actually really connecting and telling the story that way.”
This later led him to award Sarah and Vito a score of eight, with judge Motsi Mabuse doing the same. But judges Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke took a different approach and gave Sarah and Vito a ten.
But fans at home were not happy and seemed to think Sarah was being judged “differently to the other couples on the show. Taking to social media site X, fans shared their grievances.
One viewer fumed: “Sarah is judged differently to everyone else and it grinds my gears.”

Another penned: “No chemistry?! What?! Sarah and Vito had insane chemistry in that rumba!! Craig is ridiculous, he’s too harsh on her every week.”
A third agreed and said: “Why are these judges being so unnecessarily harsh on our Sarah.” A fourth added: “For my 10!! Sarah and Vito that one of the best Rumba I have seen on the show.”
During the show, the remaining seven couples also took part in this year’s first Samba-thon. Sarah and Vito managed to scoop four points for their additional dance.
However, singer and his dance partner Lauren Oakley came out on top and was awarded and additional seven points.
