FORMER Strictly Come Dancing star Judi Love has slammed the show’s judges for ‘undermarking’ Fleur East.

Singer Fleur found herself in the bottom two last week and narrowly missed getting sent home – leaving viewers baffled.

Speaking about Fleur’s shock position, Loose Women star Judi told The Sun at her glitzy Very range launch: “The judges are so hard on her, one week she’s too much, other week she’s not enough and last week she knocked it out the park.

“I want to see her in the finals with Jayde and Hamza.”

Last week Fleur, who is paired with Vito Coppola, landed herself in the bottom two alongside Richie Anderson.

In the end, after a particularly tense dance-off, her fate was left in the hand’s of the judges on the show, and they chose to save Fleur.

However, there was one judge who didn't agree with the decision on Sunday's Strictly Come Dancing.

Shirley declared: "Well with the two couples the public put in the bottom two I would have saved Richie and Giovanni."

By that point it was too late, with the majority vote overruling her own, but the choice seemed an odd one to the viewers who almost all agreed that Fleur was the one that deserved to stay.

Some said that the comment from the head judge was a sign of a feud between Shirley and Fleur behind the scenes.

Taking to Twitter, Fleur reacted to being saved in the dance off with a photograph of herself and dance partner Vito Coppola.

"So grateful to have been saved by the judges. So sad to see my friend Richie go!" she wrote to her fans.

"Thank you for all of your supportive messages, we will work really hard this week #StrictlyComeDancing."
