Strictly Come Dancing: Len Goodman admits REAL reason behind Daisy Lowe's double dance-off
STRICTLY COME DANCING head judge Len Goodman has said he believes the reason why Daisy Lowe has been in the dance-off two weeks in a row is because viewers at home think she is already safe.

The model found herself in the bottom two yet again this weekend, despite impressing the judges with a near-flawless paso doble with partner Aljaž Škorjanec and scoring a respectable 33 points.
However, when the judges scores were combined with the public vote, Daisy, 27, needed to dance again to keep her place in the competition.
In the end, singer Anastacia became the sixth celebrity to leave this year’s Strictly as Daisy was praised by judge Bruno Tonioli for her “power of performance”.

Poor Daisy gets overlooked
Len, who will be departing the dancing show after this series, said he believed the public do not vote for Daisy because they don’t think they have to.
He told Chris Evans’ BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show: "She is a terrific dancer, she has got a lovely personality and she's such a charming, lovely person.
"The only thing I can think of is that when people vote they see Daisy [and] she's in fourth place. She's in a good position, you think, 'Well, she's safe' and they vote for somebody down the line who they hope will come back.
"And then poor Daisy gets overlooked - that's the only thing I can imagine."

He added the oversight was “nothing to do with her dancing”.
Len, 72, told those complaining that Daisy should not be in the bottom two should do something about it.
"This is what I tell people when they moan about it," he said. "Don't moan if you don't phone!"
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 18.55pm on BBC One.
