STRICTLY Come Dancing viewers are convinced they’ve spotted a show ‘curse’ that caused Tyler West’s axe.
After the judges chose to save Molly Rainford, Tyler, 26, was sent home from the ballroom this weekend, alongside pro partner Dianne Buswell, 33.

Fans had a bizarre theory it was to do with the afro hair style
And viewers of the hit BBC show have come up with a bizarre theory about why Tyler went home.
Tyler and Dianne threw things back to the 1970s while in the iconic Blackpool ballroom and danced to a KC & the Sunshine Band classic.
For the routine, the star sported an afro hair style much like JLS star Aston Merrygold did when he was voted off the show in 2017.
And fans think this is why he was axed from the series, with one person saying: “I’m sure this has already been said but it is absolutely the curse of the unnecessary afro.”
The fan then shared a photo of Aston with the afro alongside his dancer partner, and others were quick to agree with the theory.
Shirley Ballas had the deciding vote after a nail biting showdown.
She said: “This is probably one of the most difficult dance-offs that we’ve ever had to choose”.
In the end, her vote went to save Rainford and Gu.
She explained: “Both couples were outstanding, both improved their performances but I am going to go with what I believe in, and that is a quality of movement and precision in partnering.”
Reflecting on his time on the show, West said: “I’m more than a two-step now! When you watch the show at home, you wonder what it must be like to dance on it, it’s everything and more, it’s changed my life.
“This girl here has changed my life, for sure. To think I was some shy kid who never used to talk to anyone, to dancing in front of millions, I can’t put it into words.
“It’s my mum’s favourite show, I bought her to Blackpool, my nan, bless her, was always watching over me on this journey.
“But, more importantly, this show has changed my life in the sense it’s given me confidence, a new-found family, every dancer, everyone in hair and make-up, costume.
“The judges, it’s been amazing to dance in front of you every week, I genuinely mean that.
Turning to Buswell, he added: “This girl here, I have been blessed with the best, she is what Strictly is about and she’s changed my life, I have no doubt she will be in in my life forever.”
