Viewers expressed their disbelief on social media, with one user ranting on X: “Someone please save Balvinder and Julian from being in the dance-off for a fourth time; I can't take it anymore.”
Another user wrote furiously: “It’s STRANGE that Balvinder has been in the dance-off so many times. I think another factor could be that she’s paired with a new pro! #Strictly”
One more commented: “Balvinder’s laugh in response to being in the dance-off again... she doesn’t deserve this! #strictly!”
However, Halloween Week brought a shocking result for another beloved contestant on the show.
Balvinder and Julian Caillon faced off in the dreaded dance-off.
Ellie and Vito performed a Tango to "Abracadabra" by Lady Gaga, while Balvinder and Julian danced their Rumba to "Stay" by Shakespears Sister.
The judges unanimously decided to send model and actress Ellie home.
Now, only nine contestants remain in the competition, and next week they will perform their annual Remembrance Sunday tribute accompanied by the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment.
Ellie made history on the show as the first contestant with Down’s Syndrome, leaving fans devastated by her departure.
While fans were heartbroken to see her go, they also expressed their anger at seeing Balvinder in the dance-off once again.
Balvinder has admitted to feeling “crushed” by this rejection.
ITV presenter Ross King and rugby star Chris Robshaw were also eliminated after facing Balvinder in the dance-off.
Speaking to The Mirror , she shared: “I’ve had meltdowns and things. And I’m like, ‘holy hell. I’ve been lying about being optimistic.’”
“I tend to be hard on myself and can be a bit self-deprecating, but there's no need for that. When you're on that floor, there's a fear of judgment and rejection. What I need to remember is that I’ve put myself in this position.”
Shirley has attempted to guide her in the right direction during her feedback.
The head judge remarked: “The footwork, for me, was far from good. I truly believe Balvinder has the potential to go far, but she won’t if everything feels forced.”
