Viewers accuse Rippon of arrogance and insufferable behavior
Angela Rippon, the famous TV presenter, has been facing criticism in recent weeks over her advancement in Strictly Come Dancing. The controversy escalated when Rippon made a seemingly nonchalant comment about her dance-off experience on the show's spin-off program, It Takes Two.
Rippon makes it through to Blackpool despite slip-up
Despite slipping during her paso doble performance, the 79-year-old presenter and her partner Kai Widdrington received high scores and were saved by the judges for the second time. This secured their spot in Blackpool Week while newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy and partner Lauren Oakley were eliminated.
Rippon's confident response raises eyebrows
During an interview on It Takes Two, host Fleur East asked Rippon if she thought her stumble would have ended her journey on the show. In a confident tone, Rippon replied that she had no doubts about being saved, attributing her slip to a slippery floor or shoe. This response left viewers even more convinced that the presenter was aware of her fate.
Viewers express frustration and accuse show of favoritism
After the interview aired, viewers took to social media to express their frustration with Rippon's perceived arrogance. Some criticized her for constantly praising herself and claimed that she did not deserve to make it to Blackpool. Others accused the show of rigging the competition to ensure Rippon's advancement, citing consistently high scores as evidence.
It remains to be seen how Rippon will fare in the upcoming rounds, as the competition becomes increasingly intense. Stay tuned for more updates on Strictly Come Dancing.
