Harsh criticism from the judges
Judge Craig Revel Horwood commented on the footwork, saying it went wrong several times, while Anton Du Beke expressed his disappointment, acknowledging Harman's talent but emphasizing his mistakes.

Video footage circulating on social media shows a dejected Harman quickly leaving the dance floor as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. Jones briefly remains on the spot before following him backstage. Meanwhile, the other contestants and their partners continue dancing and celebrating.
Viewer backlash on social media
Enraged viewers took to Twitter to criticize the judges for their harsh comments, expressing concern for Harman's emotional state. Former Strictly pro Robin Windsor also noted Harman's unhappiness.
Despite the controversy, Harman advances to the next round
Despite the tumultuous evening, Harman managed to avoid the dance-off and will compete in next week's show. However, his visibly annoyed reaction to scoring 31 points for his quickstep performance indicates his dissatisfaction with the judges' feedback.
