Strictly Come Dancing 2017: Viewers in uproar as Simon makes HUGE gaffe - did you spot it?
Simon Rimmer FALLS on the Strictly dance floor
The pair went head-to-head in the dreaded dance-off with the judges choosing to keep the Sunday Brunch star in the competition for the Halloween special.
But many of those watching at home were furious with the decision as they pointed out Simon had made a huge blunder in his routine.
The 54-year-old and his partner Karen Clifton had used violins as props for their Charleston and mid-performance threw them to the side of the dance floor.
However, as Simon ditched his instrument, he slipped and fell on his back and was left struggling to retain his composure for the rest of the performance.

The gaffe did not go unnoticed with judge Craig Revel Horwood noting he made a big mistake but he chose to save him nonetheless.

One fan of the long-running BBC series shared: "Not sure why Simon is still on #Strictly He fell over?!"
While another added: "To chose Simon over Bri is so wrong, Simon almost fell over! I must have been watching a different show #Strictly."
"Sorry judges but wrong decision there. Simon was awful, and fell flat on his a**e #strictly," a third wrote.

As Brian left the competition, he stunned both his professional partner Amy Dowden and host Tess Daly as he revealed he would miss Aston Merrygold the most.
"You know what, there has been someone by my side all the way through this journey who has been just there every moment and that is... Aston!," he laughed.
"I love him and I am really going to miss him."
