The singer faced elimination alongside comedian Rufus Hound and his partner Robin Johnstone, who were awarded 23.5 points.
Despite taking a tumble during the routine, Rufus was offered a “golden ticket” to escape the public vote – outraging Lady Leshurr’s fans.
Many took to social media to share love for the star, adding that she was “underscored” for her flawless performance.

Another agreed: “It’s a fix this year! How did Rufus get the golden ticket? And how is Lady Leshurr out? What on earth.”
“That’s bulls***!” one angry fan exclaimed, adding: “Lady Leshurr definately doesn’t deserve to be in the skate off next week.”
Others simply chimed in that Lady Leshurr was “insane”, “the best of the night” and “totally fabulous on ice”.

“Honestly so shocked,” lamented another. “She was so good and the best skater of the night, if you ask me.”
“Joe falls – joint highest score. Jason gets skates caught on ice – joint highest score,” a viewer concluded of the programme.
“But Lady Leshurr has a flawless perfomance and ends up in the skate off. Make it make sense please.”
