Strictly Come Dancing winner Harry Judd blasts ‘fix’ claims
HARRY JUDD has denied ongoing claims that the Strictly Come Dancing judges are scoring couples unfairly, saying his experience of the ballroom show was “completely legit”.

Ola Jordan and Jamelia have suggested over the last week that panelists Craig Revel Horwood, Len Goodman, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli are influenced by factors other than just the quality of each performance.
“When I was there, it was completely legit,” the McFly drummer told The Mirror. “I wouldn’t doubt it for a minute.
“It’s an amazing show to be a part of and you know, it’s an incredible show and they take it very seriously. I can’t imagine there was anything untoward.”
Harry won the show in 2011 when partnered with Aliona Vilani, who is still in the running this year alongside The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness.

He quickly eclipsed early frontrunner Peter Andre as the favourite to win, but Harry still thinks the Mysterious Girl hitmaker is in the running.
“I think Peter is definitely up there,” he said. “Absolutely. He didn’t have such a strong week in Blackpool, but he’ll bounce back I’m sure.”
Ola said at the weekend that she suspected the judges of being aware of the public vote results. “People are over-marked and under-marked. In my opinion they know how many votes people scored in the previous weeks and then they try to influence their position on the leaderboard,” she claimed.
“If the show is not fair, it takes the fun out of it.”
