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.
Strictly Come Dancing viewers slam 'pointless' episode of the BBC show

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?"

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
