Ola Jordan slams Strictly Come Dancing judges for ‘favouritism’ and ‘inconsistent marking’ in this year’s series
The former show professional knocked Len Goodman for his choice to give Daisy Lowe higher marks than Danny Mac in week one.
FORMER Strictly Come Dancing professional Ola Jordan has lashed out at the BBC shows judging panel for 'favouritism' and 'inconsistent marking' in this year's competition.
The 34-year-old dancer, who was on the show for nearly ten years before quitting last series, has accused the judges of having an unfair bias with some of the contestants.
Ola told : “I think if someone makes a mistake and falls over and loses balance, and they still get a mark of seven or eight, that’s not right.
“I see it as a professional dancer and I watch everything. I feel if something goes wrong they shouldn’t get those marks.”
Ola then claimed that Daisy Lowe received unfair praise from Len Goodman on her the first week when compared to Danny Mac, who scored lower than her but was "technically" better.

The Polish-born performer quit Strictly last year after almost ten years as a Strictly professional, and has since revealed behind the scenes secrets that had been previously kept under wraps.
In one interview, Ola revealed that the sexy dance routines would sometimes leave the male dance partners aroused in front of her.
She said: "Celebs are not used to having such intimate contact and aren’t sure how to deal with it.”
The star added: “The woman can feel absolutely everything – and I mean everything. If the man hasn’t ‘dressed to the left’ there is a danger he might get a bit excited, especially if he has to rub up against the woman during a routine.”
Her husband, James Jordan, also appeared on the show, and now they are both fronting a his and hers lingerie campaign for Ann Summers.
The couple got up close and personal in some racy shots for the campaign and Ola exclusively revealed her bedroom secrets to The Sun ahead of the launch - including that they once had a quickie in their shared dressing room ahead of one of the shows.
She has since disregarded any thoughts that she would return to the show, and stated that it was "her time" to leave the BBC dancing competition for good.
