STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have once again slammed the judges for ‘picking’ on one of the stars.
BBC One viewers also think they have spotted a secret feud with Shirley Ballas.
Pete Wicks, JLS singer JB Gill, and reality TV personality Tasha Ghouri all received high scores from the head judge.
She gave the former Love Island star the full ten points, while she had nothing but praise for the emotional tribute that the former Towie star performed for his late grandmother.
However, despite previously wowing the panel, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick did not receive a top score.
The dance guru only awarded Jamie seven points after his Argentine tango to a track from the Arctic Monkeys.
"Somehow it didn't quite work for me this evening," Shirley commented on Strictly Come Dancing.
"At the end your hands were shaking which showed me there was too much tension running through your body.
"Why? Because you want to get to Blackpool, you're good enough to get to Blackpool.
"But you just over-tried a little bit and for me it all gave a little bit of a stiff feeling."
She added: "It was just a little bit lumpy, and I never use that word, but we have to learn at this point on week eight we have to pivot on a foot to create flow and make things smooth."
Viewers were completely confused as they thought he may have outperformed Pete Wicks, as his routine was much harder.

They also speculated that the pair may even be embroiled in a secret behind-the-scenes feud.
One viewer remarked: "Shirley hates Jamie – almost every week! Which makes a change, given he’s a man!"
A second raged: "I feel like the judges have done a complete U-turn with Jamie and now they’re overly harsh on him??"
"They always pick on Jamie!", exclaimed a third fan.

Here's who is matched with who this series...
While a fourth stated: "They’re always so harsh on Jamie in comparison to everyone else. It’s boring."
"Shirley so pedantic about Jamie’s really difficult dance Argentinian Tango but gave Pete a 10 for a couple’s choice," noted a fifth confused viewer.
As a sixth wrote: "Why is Shirley always down on Jamie?! They’re ok with giving Pete 9 and 10 for a far less complex routine?!"
And a seventh angrily added: "The judging on this show is actually a joke – you cannot tell me Pete deserved a 10 from Shirley yet Jamie only deserved a 7 in comparison?"
