Strictly Come Dancing bosses slam Daisy Lowe fix claims as 'nonsense'
DAISY LOWE wowed both the Strictly Come Dancing judges and viewers when she took to the dance floor with Aljaz Skorjanec on Saturday night.
Daisy Lowe breaks down after finishing first dance
Len Goodman was so impressed with her waltz that he awarded the pair a nine for their performance.
He told the 27-year-old: "I was looking for a daisy and found an English rose. I don't think I've seen a dance like that from week one ever!"
However, some viewers were not happy that the star had received such a high score and were quick to accuse the show of fixing the series in favour of the model.
But BBC bosses have slammed claims that the dancing competition has been rigged, with a spokesperson commenting: "Any suggestions that the scores are fixed is complete nonsense.
"Each judge scores each dance independently, based on its merits and in their expert opinion."
Daisy's first performance of the series was an emotional one as she broke down in tears before receiving comments from the judges.
After performing to Nat King Cole's Unforgettable, she buried her head in her partner's shoulder and brushed away tears.
She explained that it was her grandfather's favourite song and he had sadly passed away on the first day of her rehearsals.
Her late grandfather, Eddie Davis, helped raise the model throughout her GCSE years, and died at the age of 82.
Presenter Tess Daly told her: "Your grandpa would have been so proud of you."
Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One next Saturday at 6.20pm.
