STRICTLY Come Dancing fans were stunned to say goodbye to James Bye tonight after he was booted out in Halloween week.

The EastEnders star, 38, found himself in the bottom two with popstar Fleur East, 35, on Sunday’s results show.

James and pro partner Amy Dowden tried to impress with their Charleston to Bumble Bee by LaVern Baker.

Fighting for survival, Fleur and Vito Coppola performed a Salsa to Break My Soul by Beyonce.

Fleur admitted she was disappointed to be in the dance-off again, as judge Motsi Mabuse advised to “keep her spirit up”.

After battling it out in the dance off, the judges unanimously saved Fleur and James was eliminated.

Strictly fans raced to Twitter claiming James was stitched up with his song choice and costume.

One wrote: “I can’t believe James was voted out and Tony Adams is still there. #fix #strictly”

Another posted: “I do feel sorry for James and Amy…they were given an awful song, weak choreography and poor costumes #Strictly”

A third said: “I think James was ill-served by the song and theme this week. The bumblebee thing is ridiculous and not at all Halloween and nobody knows the song. #strictly”

“#strictly Poor James, Who would have thought that a Apiculture-themed routine wouldn’t resonate with the public? I mean, we see beehives everywhere at Halloween, don’t we?,” a fourth commented.

Another fumed: “Have to say I really don’t get what this bee routine from James and Amy has to do with Halloween? The song isn’t that great either, not surprised they’re in the bottom two this week not their best routine music and theming let them down #strictly”

Last night, Strictly fans were left “confused” following James’ performance that had fans questioning the decision to have a bee theme.

James and Amy performed their Halloween Strictly routine dressed as a beekeeper and a bee, however fans took to social media criticising the decision.

One said: “Not very Halloweeny, James has been a bit short-changed here…. Should have dressed as Boo Bees.”

A second added: “James’s bee costume nonsense is the same as Richie’s Lion King nonsense. He’s probably going home. #Strictly.”

Third asked: “What is this song? What is this theme? What have bees got to do with Halloween? I am so confused…”

Meanwhile, the show has been hit by fresh fix fears after a social media campaign to get Tony Adams into the final was revealed.

Despite former footballer Tony, 56, receiving regular negative feedback from the judges he and dance partner Katya Jones are winning when it comes to viewers.

Now it’s been uncovered that an Arsenal forum with 100k users is responsible for getting Tony this far – and they’re not stopping yet.

The group has plans to get Tony and Katya all the way to the final.

And with last year’s winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice getting 55k public votes it’s thought bosses are growing concerned that they could even win the show.
