BBC newsreader  Kate Silverton has become the latest casualty of Strictly Come Dancing.

The 48-year-old and her pro dancer partner Aljaž Škorjanec took to the dance-floor in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom with a beautiful American Smooth, yet they found themselves in the bottom two alongside cricketer Graeme Swann and his partner Oti Mabusse.

While this is Graeme's third dance-off in four weeks, the four judges opted to save him unanimously. 

Doesn't make sense, does it?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

News flash! Kate and Aljaž are the latest couple to depart the dance floor, ending their Strictly journey on a high

Graeme and Oti gave an energetic performance with their Couples' Choice Theatre and Jazz routine, however many fans were shocked at the choice to give Kate the boot as Graeme's routine seemed to lack technique. 

The judges seemed to like the more showbusiness-style as opposed to Kate's rather simple ballroom dance.

Bruno said, “Purely based on what I saw I have to go for the couple that gave the more accomplished and overall stronger performance.''

“And for that reason, I think Graeme and Oti.”

Kate then broke down in tears after she was announced as the eighth celebrity to leave the competition.

And the fans didn't waste any time in taking to Twitter to air their frustration that the judges seem to be making the wrong choices a lot lately.

One wrote, ''It's got to be time to say goodbye to Graeme Swann, hasn't it?! I prefer Kate and Aljaz but that's a different story! #Strictly.''

Another said, "So sad to see Kate leave. Thought she was the better dancer in the dance-off. #Strictly.''

While others fumed,  "So disappointed at the #Strictly result! Kate is one of my favourites! No idea how Graeme keeps getting through these dance-offs, he’s terrible! He’s seen off all 3 of my favourites now!"

Another angry fan tweeted, ''judges…ever gone to Spec-savers?''

What do you think – right choice or have the judges lost the plot this series?

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One.

It's Strictly season again and last night gave us our first look at the 2018 couples.

Among them was Kate Silverton, the energetic BBC newsreader who scooped the fab Aljaz as her partner.

She may be getting ready to dive into the most glittery experience of her life, but Kate has had to deal with a few unpleasant comments as a result. 

The 48-year-old has had online trolls accuse her of ditching her children to appear on the dance program.

Kate is mum to two kids – six-year-old Clemency and four-year-old Wilbur – with husband Mike Heron. 

Kate told Hello! at the Strictly press launch reason why she had put off appearing on the show – and it has to do with motherhood.

''The reason why I have never done Strictly before is because I have two children. My kids are too young, now they are four and nearly seven – I just thought now it would be a good time to take part,'' she said. 

However, she was forced to reply to nasty comments on Twitter about hw she planned to juggle Strictly and her kids. 

The outraged broadcaster tweeted, "Mr 'anonymous' I take my time with my children very seriously – my children will both be at school when I am training – it's the reason I have agreed to do #Strictly this year. I agree mothering is the most important job – but I would never seek to preach."

Kate will be more than able to juggle her home life and the show – and she has explained how everything is all starting to blend together.

''My husband also works away a lot, so we are 'juggling juggling' the situation a lot between us. But the nice thing is, I took Wil to a photo shoot, which is hilarious – so I had to get Graziano [Di Prima] to babysit. They were wrestling on the floor at one point."

"So you know, I can get the children involved which is great,'' she added. 

Good luck Kate and ignore those haters – we can't wait to see those dance moves on Saturday night!
