The worst part is that it is paid out of regular people's money who are basically bullied by red letters into paying a licence to keep 'talent' flush with cash. The optics are all round bad. If it were a commercial channel, it would still be tone-deaf but I'd care less.

Exactly!
I don’t feel any of the judges need a pay rise, the dancers and the crew should get one for all the hard work they do. I hope the BBC tell them to take a running jump and they can be replaced if they pipe up more about it.

I would honestly not be surprised if this judges story was either bollocks or heavily embroidered to whip up animosity against the BBC. Exhibit A: this Fail 'exclusive' seems to be basically taken from here!

BBC bosses 'incandescent with anger' over Strictly judges pay row
BBC bosses are 'incandescent with anger' after the Strictly Come Dancing judges demanded an 11 percent pay rise to appear in this year's series.
When DWTS lost the spring seasons, it was replaced with American Idol and they have Katy Perry as a judge - she is apparently paid $25,000,000 per series to judge that show.
At least the Strictly judges aren't asking for that much! Explains why ABC invested so little in the last few years of DWTS, they had barely any money left.

Not justifying 25 million by any means, its vile and noone deserves that money for any job let alone sitting on their arse a few hours of a saturday evening and giving “critiques” that anyone could. But at least thats Katy Perry. If you didnt watch strictly (and obviously weren’t in the dancing world) you’d most likely never hear of our judges
OK now I think they're making stuff up but I'd be very interested to hear some of the stuff the pros have to say in their WhatsApp group:

Anton - he didn’t leave the group after becoming a judge and thinks if I’m getting flak I’m taking them down with me.

Gio doing that is giving brown nosing to me. He doesn't want to upset the status quo with the BBC probably because he's eyeing a judging role in the future and because now he has his own show with them.

Janette never wearing a seatbelt is really getting on my tits now. I mean it already was, but jesus christ, lady you are pregnant, what the duck. Aljaz as well.
I know it must be a hard habit to break, but she must have people raging in her DMs, it's wilful stupidity rather than forgetfulness at this point.
Gorka (the only one who ever wears his bleeping seatbelt) needs to intervention the other pros
Is she f*cking mad - she's literally pregnant!! Its not just her who is in danger.
And just how many photos from Disney has she posted? She seems obsessed with it

Ikr, I really thought that would make them stop doing it, but she and Aljaz have both posted several stories of them driving with no seatbelts in the last couple of months. It's so weird. They both obviously are over the moon about the baby, but then to have this massive blindspot over its safety is just insane. Especially when they're posting videos of it publically. I didn't bother, but there's no way someone hasn't messaged her about it. No excuse to forget. It's just nuts.

Janette as an annoying Disney adult is v on-brand, lol.
Kai posted a story a few weeks ago in which he was recording himself in a car sans seat-belt. The driver braked v suddenly and Kai went forward sharply then was asking the driver if he was ok and laughing. I thought 'if that had been a worse accident you'd have gone right through the back of him you berk'

Been vaguely hoping that might have taught him his lesson, but judging by how much he was laughing, those hopes are slim. Guess we'll see the next time he posts a car selfie.

I don't understand anyone who doesn't wear a seatbelt, I just couldn't take the risk. Also, would their drivers not say something to them about wearing a belt just in case they got into an accident? I've been in taxi's before and the driver won't drive off until everyone has their seatbelt on.

That's the most baffling thing about it to me. You'd think it'd be against company policy or something.
