Strictly Come Dancing: Ex pros James and Ola Jordan slam Anastacia after 'bull***t' result
FORMER Strictly Come Dancing professionals James and Ola Jordan have hit out on Twitter after US pop star Anastacia refused to take part in last night's Dance Off.
Melvin Odoom loses out to Anastacia in public vote
The singer found herself in the bottom two following the public vote on Saturday night and was expected to dance for her place on next week's show against Melvin Odoom.
However on Sunday night's elimination programme, the first of the series so far, host Claudia Winkleman announced Anastacia would be unable to dance again with partner Brendan Cole on medical grounds.
As a result Melvin and his partner Janette Manrara became the first to leave as they received the lowest number of public votes.
Anastacia suffered a setback last week after ripping the scar tissue around her double mastectomy but received little sympathy from a furious James Jordan.

If you can't dance in the dance off you should be the ones that leave
He wrote: "WHAT!!! Totally disgusting If you can't dance in the dance off you should be the ones that leave WHAT A JOKE!!!
James, who left the hit BBC show in 2013, even went as far as to suggest that the decision could mean that contestants begin feigning injuries to escape the dreaded dance-off.
"SO!!! Whoever ends up in the dance off COULD fake an injury and go through to the next week on public vote without dancing Bull****!!!," he added.
Ola and James have left the show but continue to watch it on TV
James' sentiments were backed up by his outspoken wife, Ola, who responded to the dancing debacle with an equally sweary tweet.
“B*******! If you can't dance, you should be eliminated!" she fumed.
Ola left Strictly in 2015 after suggesting the show was fixed but evidently remains an avid viewer.
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday on BBC One.
