In the aftermath of Sunday night’s episode, viewers highlighted veteran British broadcaster Rippon’s connection to the show – including presenting Come Dancing, the original ballroom dance competition that gave Strictly its name. One person wrote on X/Twitter: “Just saw the Strictly Come Dancing results show tonight, and I smell a fix - all four judges saved Angela Rippon, who was by far the weakest contestant this week. Plan auto-renews until cancelled Try for free The judges’ decision to save Rippon comes ahead of all-important Blackpool week, when the Strictly live show is filmed inside the Blackpool Tower Ballroom, known as “the home of ballroom dancing”. “You can literally see Adam slowly realising that Angela Rippon has Blackpool Week Plot Armour and will be going home no matter how this goes,” another fan comment about Sunday night’s show read.
