STRICTLY Come Dancing fans aren’t happy with this weekend’s semi-finals dance choices.
Three of the four remaining couples will dance a Pasodoble, with only Hamza Yassin being spared the fiery Spanish military dance.

Fans are expecting lots of comparisons to be drawn between Molly Rainford, Fleur East and Will Mellor when they perform their efforts.
One fan complained: “You would’ve thought by this stage they could’ve avoided more than half the couples doing the same dance, which for some reason I have a particular bee in my bonnet about!
“I know people will disagree but I actually think it’s fairer if everyone does a different style, as it means the public can consider each dance on its own terms rather than comparing it to another couples in their subconscious.”
Another agreed, saying: “Exactly! We have 3 pasos, 2 waltzes, 2 charleston. Couldn’t they give Hamza a Viennese for example?”
A third mused: “How bizarre to have so many of the same dances in one week. The production this year is a bit off.”
