James Jordan was left seething over Sunday's Strictly result, branding it "disgusting".
JLS star Aston Merrygold , who was previously favourite to WIN the dancing competition, was knocked out of the competition after facing Mollie King and partner AJ in the dance-off.
Former Strictly pro dancer James blasted the fact Aston and Janette Manrara were even in the dance-off, and was particularly irritated by Craig Revel-Horwood's low score of four for his dance.

After tweeting furiously about the result, he took part in a Facebook live with wife Ola Sunday evening.
The pair also slammed Craig and claimed it probably hadn't been his idea to get on his knees about Debbie McGee's dance.
First, however, they insisted that the result had been manipulated so that Aston was in the bottom two.

They told viewers: "If Aston had got to the final they wouldn't have had a woman win the show... they want a woman to win the show this year."
They added: "It's only been happening in the last three years when the score has been been manipulated."
Ola also addressed those blaming Janette for Aston's early exit, and defended the pro dancer. She insisted that people didn't blame the professional dancers as the producers often forced the songs and themes on people.

Moving on to Craig's praising of Debbie tonight (Sunday) by falling to his hands and knees, James remarked: "I think he was told to do it... Craig was an embarrassment to himself."
He said: "I actually could cry for Janette and Aston... for me, it's ruined the series."
James wasn't the only one upset by the result, with a number of viewers branding the show a "fix" as they accused the judges of "manipulating the vote".
Some even claimed that the gobsmacking exit had something to do with who could take part in the Strictly tour next year.
During Saturday night's show, Aston and pro Janette Manrara failed to impress the judges with their Viennese Waltz to Who’s Loving You by Jackson 5.

Shirley admitted that it "wasn't his best", while Bruno said that it had "lost its style" and "didn't gel".
The pair ended up bagging a shocking score of 25 after getting a baffling four from Craig.
And it seems that they didn't get much sympathy from the viewers after ending up in the bottom with Mollie and AJ.
After both pairs danced again, Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Mollie and AJ while Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli chose to save Aston and Janette.
It was then down to head judge Shirley Ballas to deliver the casting vote - and she chose to save Mollie and AJ
"Well again a very difficult choice, two fantastic couples and it’s very difficult to do," she said. "On technical accuracy, beautiful flow and full engagement during the dance, I’m saving Mollie and AJ."

And viewers were furious, quickly taking to Twitter to brand the show a "fix" as they lashed out at the judges for scoring him so poorly and Debbie McGee a perfect 40 .
One irate viewer commented: "Debbie said on the launch show that she did a bit of ballet 35 years ago & her definition of a "bit" is probably different to mine."
While another remarked: "Exactly judges manipulating vote they know who they want in the final it’s a joke."
"I’m not watching anymore. I’m actually furious! Debbie is being overmarked. Aston was my winner. I’ve loved strictly for years," a third fumed.
One fuming fan wrote: "It’s all a fix, they are taking out the competition so there favourite Debbie can win."
"Definitely bias towards Debbie. P***ed off with the marking x," another tweeted.
A viewer wrote: "I think it's finally becoming as bad as fix factor. The #Strictly judges know who they want."
Meanwhile others accused the BBC dancing show of fixing the result because Aston wouldn't have been able to take part in the tour because of his baby.
"People are up in arms over the #strictlyspoiler, yet willing to believe Ore beat Danny Mac in last year's final vote? Look at tour results," one viewer pointed out.
While another remarked: "Seriously considering selling my @SCD_Live_Tour tickets!! Hate it when shows are soooo rigged. Aston should have been in the final!!!"
