STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have been left convinced that show bosses are trying to get rid of one pairing thanks to an ‘obvious clue’.
The pair have already found themselves in the dance-off on the BBC contest and viewers are already expecting to see them their again thanks to a ‘move’ by the Beeb.
Toyah Wilcox and Neil Jones were chosen to go second during tonight’s show to perform their Samba routine during Movie Week.
Inspired by The Little Mermaid, Toyah did little to impress the judging panel as she came out with low scores.
But it isn’t the scores that Strictly fans think could land her in the dance-off again.
Many took to X, formerly Twitter, to complain that she had been given the dreaded “death slot” by going second.
The “death slot” refers to the place in the running order which is least likely to throw up success.
It has left fans to suspect that the Beeb secretly want to get the 80s pop singer out by giving her the spot.
Writing online, one fan said: “Toyah has the death slot, seems like they want her to go now that she’s made it to Movie Week.”
Another added: “A Samba and Toyah is in the death spot. OH DEAR!”
A third wrote: “Lol @ production doing Toyah and Neil no favours by dumping them in the death slot.”
Before a fourth penned: “Toyah and Neil death slot oh it’s over for them.”
Toyah picked up a poor three from Craig Revel Horwood as well as fours from the other three judges.
It led another fan to quip that the judges were also working to get then out after they were branded “unfairly low”.
The disgruntled viewer said: “Very unfairly low scores for Toyah. The judges want her out.”
Last week, 80s icon Toyah and Neil found themselves in the bottom two and dancing off against Tom Dean and Nadiya Bychkova.
STRICTLY Come Dancing's latest series has already been hit by rumours of a BBC show 'curse' - yet what is it?
A host of Strictly Come Dancing stars have been struck by the Strictly Curse during the past two decades.
This is where celebrities who may or may not be attached in the outside world become more than friends with their professional partners.
A total of 20 relationships are said to have been impacted so far over the show’s 20 years.
It has seen relationships crumble with dance floor romances and punishing rehearsal schedules to blame.
This includes the partnerships of Louise and Jamie Redknapp as well as Kevin Clifton and Karen Hauer.
Controversially, Judge Craig Revel Horwood once said of the curse: “I think of it as a blessing, to be honest. One person is married, the other one had a girlfriend but my point in this entire thing is: if you come on Strictly, sometimes you are in a relationship that is not working anyway.
“There has to be something wrong in your relationship before it all goes awry.”
Series one winner Brendan Cole left his fiancé, fellow Strictly professional Camilla Dallerup, during filming for the very first series in spring 2004.
Brendan was said to have fallen for his celebrity partner and inaugural winner Natasha Kaplinsky, although the duo didn’t confirm they were romantically involved.
