Strictly Come Dancing in chaos as judges go to war with BBC bosses

STRICTLY Come Dancing’s four judges are in a “stand-off” with the BBC over pay, The Sun can reveal today. Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke are chasing an inflatio…

Get shut of them all. There is a cost of living crisis, the BBC are skint and they all earn more than enough money to sit chatting rubbish one night a week. It's not like they are a pro dancer doing six long days a week or even a BGT judge who has to travel all over the country to do long audition days. They have it easy and should be grateful for the publicity being on the show brings them and the opportunities they get elsewhere simply through their association with Strictly. They would be daft to burn their bridges by being greedy.

Anton's been a judge for like a day! If any of the judges should get a pay increase (none of them should) it should be Craig, he's the longest serving judge of them all.

If I were the pros I'd feel like it's a bit of a kick in the teeth from Anton tbh. He's done their job and knows it's hard work regardless of how far he actually got in the competition and he would have already gotten an increase in pay when he became a judge, now he's looking for another one?!

The Daily Mail are just choosing chaos today - 'smitten' Jowita now 'snuggling up' to 'Italian stallion' Arduino! (haven't we been here before??)

Strictly's Jowita Przystal puts on a VERY cosy display with co-star

The professional dancer, 28, looked smitten with Arduino Bertoncello, 27, while arriving at a London studio ahead of the Strictly Professionals Tour.

Either I'm going crazy, or the Fail hasn't even got Arduino's age right. I could have sworn I remember him saying something on his stories or an ITT segment last year at Blackpool about having first competed there when he was 14 some time in the late 90s, which would make him at least 37/38.

I bet if you told Anton, okay fair enough … we’ll have to let you go he’d be backtracking faster than you could say ‘don’t put me on the space hopper again’ and signing a contract for a polo mint, a 2p piece from the back of the BBC sofa, a Panini World cup card and one of the One Year Out T-shirts Ken Bruce left behind.

I think you’re forgetting that him and Giovanni are the future of BBC light entertainment and travel broadcasting 🤣🤣

Yeah I think he is late 30s though he doesn't advertise that (understandably). Penny for his thoughts about Gio, especially if he caught the Italian video..

I feel like Neil has virtually no experience in presenting and isn’t very popular so I just can’t see it?

I think they should get a proper presenter in, not a pro trying their hand as it feels quite amateur with Jeanette already.

I remember they had some of the pros doing very short clips, behind the scenes, talking about costumes or whatever in ITT last time around and he did one. That's all I remember him presenting.

Definitely not enough to even consider having him step into Rylan's place! 😁

It needs to be a proper presenter, as you said. Janette is still very much learning, imo, and not able to go with the flow.
I do hope they don't see her as being ready to take over because she isn't.

Some atrocious ideas for a Rylan replacement being thrown around on the Facebook group, Chris and Rosie Ramsey and James and Ola Jordan among them. hard to choose which husband/wife duo is more insufferable 😂 And someone, of course, suggested Rose- I get the idea she's more interested in progressing her acting career than presenting a strictly spin off

I don’t think people get that a) she wants to act b) she has no presenting experience and c) she clearly wants to forge a career away from strictly now. Let her move on 🤣

Gemma’s caption impersonating Gorka’s accent cracked me up 🤣
