Strictly Professional Katya Jones brings a cake to her rehearsal with Strictly Come Dancing contestant Wynne Jones, following feud rumours after videos of the pair went viral.
Have YOU got a story? Email [email protected] Strictly Come Dancing has been plunged into an ageism row as the professional dancers who are reportedly facing the axe have been revealed.
Currently Katya, 35, is the only professional still in the competition, but she was previously embroiled in a 'groping' scandal with her celebrity partner Wynne Evans. The Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers who are reportedly facing the axe as bosses eye a younger generation of dancers have been revealed
'And in many cases there are certain characters whose shoes can easily be filled with younger, up-and-coming counterparts. It's harsh but it's just part of the traditional turnover of showbusiness.' 'We need better and more traditional song choices and traditional routines'; 'They just need to add more male pros to balance with the girls'; 'UMMM WHAT'; 'If they do this then I predict the show won't last for much longer.. dropping Gorka would be a huge mistake, he's the reason many of us watch!';
Some of the favourites. Yes, the show does change - but axing the viewers favourites in one go is shocking. I know TV changes every so often, but to get rid of Neil, Katya, Karen, Gorka etc. I think the viewers may change channels' Others said: 'Gorka!? No. Neil yes, but Gorka is a big mistake'; 'I agree with Neil going but the rest absolutely not! 'I think Karen should be axed but not Katya her choreography is too good! We need some more girls who are fun and cause chaos like Vito and Nikita though';It was previously reported back in July that some of Strictly's biggest professional names were at risk of being axed, as bosses planned to bring in some fresh young names.
'It's not a done deal, and it's not just going to be a case of the oldest or longest-serving being shown the door. It would be a carefully considered process, with other factors taken into account too. While the BBC have declined to comment on the shake-up speculation, it marks the latest in a series of times the show has been accused of ageism.
In an extraordinary Government intervention, Labour’s Deputy Leader described the BBC’s decision to replace Dame Arlene as 'absolutely shocking' and called for her to be reinstated. Last month, Dame Arlene, now 81, reignited the ageism row as she discussed the older contestants on the show. Six weeks after Dame Arlene was axed from the show, Strictly found itself embroiled in another ageism row when popular dancer Karen Hardy was dropped from the lineup.
She was not the only dancer to be replaced. Camilla Dallerup, then 35 and the reigning Strictly champion was also also axed Addressing ageism accusations at the time, a Strictly spokesperson said they were always looking for ways to make Strictly Come Dancing ‘fresh and relevant’ but said suggestions that BBC decisions are based on age were ‘totally out of the question’.
When asked if she'd considered quitting Strictly, she replied: 'It was a difficult series, I'll leave it at that... Will I go back to Strictly? I always take one step at a time.' The dancer is currently paired with Gladiators star Montell Douglas, and the pair have been tipped to reach the final.
