Strictly Come Dancing viewers spot same 'annoying' issue for Harry Aikines-Aryeetey after 'stitch up'

Strictly Come Dancing fans have spotted an 'annoying' issue for Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, which, unfortunately, isn't his fault. The former Olympic athlete has been among the celebrity contestants taking part in this year's series, having been partnered with professional dancer Karen Hauer. But it isn't Harry's first time in the ballroom, with the former Team GB star having taken part on Strictly's Christmas special last year alongside another pro, Nancy Xu. The Gladiators star has been impressing in the BBC One dance contest so far, however, has found himself being criticised by the judges, especially when it comes to themed weeks. On Saturday night (November 1), Harry and Karen were back on the dance floor having made it through to week six of the competition, which just so happened to be the show's annual Halloween special. But it ended up being a difficult night for the pair as they landed at the bottom of the latest leaderboard with 26 points following their American smooth to Mystical Magical by Benson Boone. Anton Du Beke was heard noting the smoothness and fluidity of Harry's performance, but picked up on a mistake in the middle which was also noted by his fellow judges. It led Motsi Mabuse to say: "We saw the mistake, but keep doing what you guys do," while Craig Revel Horwood advised: "I would suggest a softer approach," while admitting that Harry and Karen bring their heart and soul to every dance they do. But Strictly fans felt like Harry was unfairly criticised, blaming the themed weeks for his struggle. @nyealison commented: "Judges seem to be harder on Harry than anybody else. I loved it @karenhauer. They will get all my votes as usual." @heyitsstanka said: "I saw the mistake but it was so minor and he got it back straight away, I was even wondering whether it was supposed to look that way. Annoying how much judges pick him apart for one tiny wrong step but excuse some other people’s mistakes like ‘that happens!’ Ugh anyway!! Well done Karen and Harry, loved the dance! So cute!" @nickib1343 posted: "Inconsistent comments and marking from the judges yet again. He made one minor mistake and recovered brilliantly. Loved this performance." @notthatpoppy wrote: "Once again everyone’s saying george is the victim of bad theming but they’ve got harry doing a ‘spooky’ space age american smooth to abysmal benson boone #Strictly." However, fans think they spotted the reason for his problem. @TashAmaka noted: "Harry has been stitched up costume and dance wise #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing." @robdavidson74 added: "Harry was let down by the costume department- his trousers were too long at back and got trapped under his heel. #StrictlyComeDancing."
