Strictly Come Dancing viewers have slammed tonight's 'results show' episode as "pointless" after it was announced that there would be no eliminations this week.
This came after the sudden announcement that EastEnders and Casualty star Nigel Harman would be quitting the show after sustaining an injury.
Announcing the news, a BBC spokesperson said on X (formally known as Twitter): "Unfortunately Nigel has sustained an injury which means he is unable to perform in tonight’s show and has had to withdraw from Strictly."
Despite no eliminations taking place this week, the points given to each pairing will be carried on to next week where it could make a massive difference.

One user shared that tonight's BBC show was likely the "most pointless" they had ever seen, writing: "Possibly the most pointless Sunday night episode ever of Strictly Come Dancing!…"
Another added: "What is the point of tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing results program when no-one is being eliminated and there’s no dance off?"
One user simply said: "Doing a new show - pointless," while another said: "What is the point of having a results show this week ?"
A fifth viewer said: "Is there a purpose to The Results show tonight?"
