Yep. It doesn't matter how much of a scumbag they are. If they are our scumbag then it's for us to deal with them. I hate the idea of shipping violent sex criminals off to other countries where it might be easier for them to reoffend and get away with it.

While we continue to vote, obviously I have to put on record my appreciation for what Tess and Claudia have done throughout their time on the show. They have made the cold Winter nights an amazingly cozy and warm experience for us all, and it won't be the same without them. #Strictly
