AN EX Strictly Come Dancing pro has lashed out after this week’s show paid tribute to the BBC’s centenary.
James Jordan, 44, who previously appeared as a Strictly Come Dancing pro alongside wife Ola, 40, gives his weekly take on the sequin-filled routines on Twitter.

Yet as the celebrities and their professional partners danced to the likes of Grange Hill, The Apprentice, Blue Peter and the original Come Dancing theme tunes, James was less than impressed.
He quipped on Twitter: “I’m so happy this won’t happen on Strictly again for another 100 years!”
As one fan responded: “My God, all the negativity tonight,” James chimed: “Just saying what everyone is thinking luv.”
He followed up his message with an add-on, and put: “As a MASSIVE fan of Strictly and commented for you for the last 10 years.
“I would say it wasn’t the best show I’ve ever seen in those 10 years
“I get the whole 100 year thing and it’s done now – so let’s go a bit old school next week please. Ballroom & Latin.”
On the whole, fans appeared to agree with his summary.
One wrote: “Tonights show is awful the music has completely ruined it
Another added: “I agree, the music is awful, really not enjoying this week.”
A third then put: “The music is so bad tonight. It’s spoiling the show.”
James is no stranger to causing controversy and recently became embroiled in a social media spat with head judge Shirley Ballas.
Last week, he also accused the series of being full of “trained dancers.”
It comes after it was revealed that EIGHT of the stars picked for this year’s celebrity line-up already have dance experience.
James said he was ‘so pleased’ the dances to theme tunes wouldn’t happen ‘for another 100 years’
