Instead, Luca Bish and Gemma Owen were this year's runners-up while Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack landed the third place spot. 

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "I loved that Ekin and Davide won but I was shocked that Tasha and Andrew weren't a close second. Wish both couples all the best," while another added: "Ekin and Davide are the best - and I voted for them. But Andrew and Tasha should have come second."

A third person tweeted: "I don't know how Tasha and Andrew came fourth when they're one of the most loved up baffles me," while another agreed, commenting: "Sorry but how were Tasha and Andrew fourth place u can't convince me it's not rigged."
