Strictly 2017 viewers shocked by Craig's "harsh" 4 for Aston
Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood was not impressed with Aston Merrygold and Janette Manrara's performance on Saturday night – but did it deserve that low a score?
Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood had a rollercoaster of a show on Saturday night.
One moment he was literally bowing at the feet of celebrity Debbie McGee after she earned the first perfect 40 of the series; the next he was awarding pre-series favourite Aston Merrygold a lowly '4' for his week seven Waltz.
Ouch.

Many viewers were shocked and surprised by the low score – and made their feelings known on Twitter.

Craig also scored fellow Strictly celeb Ruth Langsford a '4' – which annoyed Aston fans even more given that Ruth and Anton Du Beke fell over during their performance.
