STRICTLY’S Tilly Ramsay has sparked a fix row after she topped the leaderboard with a perfect score – as fans think she was ‘over-marked’.

The 20-year-old performed a Couple’s Choice routine to Revolting Children from Matilda with her pro partner Nikita Kuzman.

Wearing matching school uniforms, the couple gave a high energy performance which impressed the judges, including guest judge Cynthia Erivo – who is stepping in for Craig Revel Horwood.

The judges ended up scoring Tilly a perfect 40, placing her top of the leaderboard.

Tilly couldn’t believe it, especially as she has been in the dance off for the last two weeks.

Many viewers couldn’t believe it either, but for very different reasons.

Taking to Twitter, one Strictly fan wrote: “There’s definitely some sort of fix going on with Tilly; weakest performance tonight and she scores all the 10s??!! WTF?!”

Another added: “Tilly, no way 10s, its a fix.”

A third tweeted: “FIX FACTOR #scd #strictly #tilly.”

They weren’t alone in their thoughts, as a fellow viewer wrote: “You cannot give a 10 for a mistake #Strictly – you just gave a new meaning to the word ‘fix’ #bbc1 #strictly.”

While Tilly topped the leaderboard, BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker found himself at the bottom with partner Nadiya Bychkova.

Meanwhile West End star Cynthia stood in for Craig this week after the judge tested positive for Covid-19.
