A whopping 57.5 per cent of fans think that Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> star Rhys Stephenson<\/a> and partner Nancy Xu should have returned for tonight\u2019s grand final, following confirmation that original finalist AJ Odudu had dropped out of the competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sadly, AJ Odudu<\/a> and her professional dance partner Kai Widdrington<\/a> pulled out yesterday due to AJ\u2019s traumatic foot injury, which has left her unable to stand.<\/p>\n

RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u2018s official poll asked viewers whether they thought Rhys should have been given a chance to compete in her place. The response saw most people agree with the suggestion, with the remaining 42.5 per cent deciding against the idea.<\/p>\n
