He said: 'Well done judges and producers! You got exactly what you wanted and exactly what I predicted. Such a shame, a great show but not fair.'

Olympic gymnast Claudia Fragapane found herself in the bottom two with Danny and Oti, but was in tears as she was sent home by the judges ahead of the final
He added: 'Claudia not doing the Strictly Tour #justsaying'.
A BBC spokesperson said: 'Each judge scores each dance independently, based on its merits and in their expert opinion.'
Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse received the least amount of votes alongside Claudia Fragapane and her partner AJ Pritchard.
Danny and Oti have consistently scored high throughout the series, making history when they achieved the maximum 40 points for their samba - the first time ever a male celebrity has scored that highly for the tricky dance.
He has been praised for his routines and placed first this week with 77 points.
He said: 'Well done judges and producers! You got exactly what you wanted and exactly what I predicted. Such a shame, a great show but not fair'
Yesterday it was reported that fans were being blocked from voting in the show's semi-finals - with some even labelling the technical fault as a fix.
Millions tuned in to cheer their favourites on, but thousands were unable to vote because of the glitch.
The issue started as the voting lines opened, forcing the show's staff to take to Twitter to apologise to outraged viewers.
The BBC Strictly account tweeted: 'Apologies, we had a slight technical error at the start of the Vote. If you had problems, please try again. The Vote is open until 20.40.'
