MATT Goss is ‘facing the axe from Strictly Come Dancing’ according to bookies after fans spotted a ‘feud’ between him and a judge.

The Bros frontman was left devastated when he found himself in the first dance off of the series alongside Kaye Adams in week two.

The judges opted to save Matt, 54, and his partner Nadiya Bychkova giving him the chance to dance in Movie Week last Saturday.

Despite scoring the second lowest score of the night with 21 points, Matt and Nadiya managed to avoid the dance off and made it straight through to this weeks show.

However, bookmakers William Hill believe Matt's luck is running out, with the odds of him being the next celebrity to be eliminated from Strictly slashed to 5-2. 

It comes after Matt received increasingly low scores from judge Craig Revel Horwood, who marked him with a 5, 4 and then a 3 in Movie Week.

Strictly fans also think they have spotted a feud between Matt and Head Judge Shirley Ballas, which won't do him many favours if he does end up in the bottom two again.

Fans previously told how they feared for the Bros singer after a series of "personal insults."

One BBC viewers has now taken to Twitter to speculate: "Shirley doesn't like Matt I think she always undermarks people and overmarks people I can't stand that #Strictly."

Another put: "So I take it Shirley Ballas doesn't like Matt Goss 😏 #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing."

A third posted an image of Fleur looking unimpressed and wrote: "The face I make every week when Shirley targets Fleur, Ellie T and Matt #Strictly."

Previously, those tuning in to the BBC's flagship series branded the Bros hitmaker "fragile" following his Viennese Waltz on Saturday.

Yet despite their emotion-packed routines and smooth moves, they were only awarded a three from Strictly judge Craig.

Some quarters have suggested Craig and fellow judge Shirley have created a "hate train" towards the popstar with personal remarks, while others have called out Matt's "shy" demeanour.
