GEORGE Clarke faced another night of criticism and modest scores on Strictly Come Dancing.
The social media star and his pro dancer partner, Alexis, fell to the bottom of the leaderboard last week after failing to impress the judging panel.
And this week seemed somewhat of a deja vu, as the pair received a score of only two points higher than their previous result of 29.
The judges had good things to say about their dance tonight, encouraging George to believe in himself more.
But there was also plenty of criticism, as Craig Revel Horwood noted how “turned in” George’s feet where throughout the entire performance.
Fans of the show are beginning to feel George is being somewhat set up to fail, receiving harsher criticism than others on the show and receiving overall lower scores, despite any positive feedback.
Tonight especially fans weren’t happy with the song choice nor the choreography of George’s Cha Cha Cha to Apple by Charli XCX, accusing his dance partner of stealing the spotlight.
Many took to X to share their fury on the choreo, and how it didn’t even give George a chance to shine.
“That dance was all about Alexis. Not so much about George,” said one user.
Others echoed the same sentiment, sharing: “I feel like george is kinda being set up tho with the choreography and the song choice…” and “he barely danced, his partner was doing most of the work!”.
After George’s dance last week, viewers picked up on how much criticism he was receiving from the panel – taking to X to share their frustrations about that as well.
“Why did the judges pick up on every single one of george’s mistakes that the public barely noticed, but then haven’t mentioned vicky and kai’s visible mistake one time ???? this show is angering me tonight,” said an angry fan.
Many other viewers simply said George was being underscored for yet another week.
“Here’s george being underscored AGAIN,” said one user.
George was the sixth celebrity announced as a part of the Strictly line up this year.
The YouTube and TikTok star has been growing in popularity online since first creating a TikTok account in 2019, where he posts hilarious comedy videos.
Speaking on his decision to join Strictly this year, George expressed shock and excitement.
“Never thought I’d say this but I’m doing Strictly!
“Honestly, I’ve got no idea what I’m doing but I’m excited to get stuck in and potentially fall over a fair bit.”
He has 2.4 million TikTok followers, with an additional 798K on Instagram and 633K YouTube subscribers as of today.
