Holby City star Tom Chambers is facing an angry backlash from some Strictly Come Dancing viewers who believe he should not be in Saturday night's final.
The actor was given a pass through to the final after the BBC abandoned the phone vote last weekend.
All three couples were allowed through when it became clear that viewers voting for Tom would be unable to save him from the dance-off, due to the tie between Lisa and Rachel at the top of the leaderboard.
Originally votes from last weekend were to be carried over to the final but they now won't be counted and the BBC are offering a refund to anyone who voted.
However, many fans of the series are unhappy that Tom will feature in the final and some are calling for him to do the honorable thing and step down, reports the Daily Mirror.
A show insider told the paper: "Things have turned sour for Tom since Saturday. He and Camilla wanted to get through properly, not be given a free ride. They feel they could have won a dance-off.
"Camilla is really upset and has been crying. She doesn't want anyone to think they have cheated in any way."
Do you think Tom deserves his place in the final? Let us know what you think...

Posted by: jeanfisher123 on Mon Dec 22 05:41PM | Report abuseAbsolutely, I believe their show dance made the difference, it was by far the best with Rachel 2nd and Lisa 3rd - could make nothing of that dance at all more acrobatic than dance and it did not work for them. I really thought that Rachel would have won when it came down to 2 but then that is what everybody, including themselves, thought and I was so pleased - I agree with Arlene that Austen should still have been there and I think he would have won it. But congrats to Tom & Camilla.
