STRICTLY star Tasha Ghouri has spoken out after fans were left fuming over the judge's scores on Saturday.
The former Love Island contestant has dazzled audiences with her performances and is now a joint favourite to win the coveted Glitterball Trophy.
But she's yet to reach a perfect score from the judges, despite consistently impressing with her elegant routines and powerful storytelling on the dance floor.
Last weekend, Tasha and Aljaz Skorjanec performed a Paso Doble at Blackpool’s iconic Tower Ballroom.
They were awarded 39 points, but Craig Revel Horwood held back his 10 paddle.
The TV beauty was quizzed on the “uproar online” on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two.
Asked does she feel pressure to get a top score, the frontrunner said: "I think a little bit.
"I think even I want the 40. I’m trying to push for that perfect score every week."
The disappointed star added: "It’s just there on my fingertips and it’s reaching it. It is the quarter finals now."
Despite the pressure, she admitted to The Sun last week: “The goal for Strictly, for me, is not necessarily winning.
“Just being in the final would be an absolute honour."
Strictly's yearly trip out to Blackpool didn't disappoint, with the judges pulling out a host of 10-paddles through the live show.
On Sunday viewers saw Wynne and Katya Jones leave the competition.
They were up against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe.
Fans said that the ‘right decision was made’ after their dance routine ‘mistakes’.
Montell performed the salsa to Don’t Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston, while Wynne did a Charleston to Carmen Suite No. 1: 5. Les Toreadors by George Bizet.
Judges Craig, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke decided to save Montell, while head judge Shirley Ballas had their say and cast their vote.
