Strictly Come Dancing bosses are reportedly considering axing five big names from the professional line-up after failing to impress with their celebrity partners
BBC bosses are reportedly planning a major shake-up of the Strictly Come Dancing professional line-up, with up to five long-standing dancers facing the axe. The move comes after a disastrous series, marred by controversy and poor performances from some of the show's veterans.
A source told them: “The review of the line-up has always been about making a fresh start, and that was always going to be affected by which dancers performed well this series. The feeling is that the Strictly troupe is made up of some fading stars, while others are rising stars. And in many cases there are certain characters whose shoes can easily be filled with younger, up-and-coming counterparts.
