Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left fuming as they shared fresh fears for Paul Merson's place in the competition. The former footballer has been giving the BBC One dance contest his all with professional dance partner Karen Hauer. And over the weekend, fans of the BBC One dance show were rejoicing as Paul was seen performing a classic ballroom number alongside professional dance partner Karen.
They gave an 'unforgettable' Quick step performance to I Won’t Dance by Fred Astaire and Craig Revel Horwood said that he was loving the progression from Paul after landing at the bottom two more times than anyone else on the series so far.

It was then during Sunday night's (October 13) results show that it was revealed Paul and Karen had made it through to week five of Strictly's 20th-anniversary series after surviving the public vote.
But Strictly fans have now expressed their concern as Paul and Karen's next song and dance were revealed as a Samba to Car Wash by Rose Royce. Paul and Karen during their latest routine (Image: PA) Making an assumption about what may be coming from the pair's performance, @rachel.09.

" Charlotte Grix fumed: "Fair enough a samba for Paul and Karen but to car wash, really? Could have at least given him traditional samba music but instead he's been made back into the joke act. He suited a traditional dance and costume last week. So unfair.
" Tracey Jones added: "Paul been given the dance of death...
