Reports of Conflict Behind the Scenes
According to sources, the performing couples on Strictly Come Dancing are engaged in a battle with the show's producers. The dance professionals and their celebrity partners are reportedly unhappy with various aspects of the production, including routine content and song choice. Despite the polished performances viewers see on screen, behind the scenes, tensions are rising.
Loss of Creative Freedom
One of the main sources of frustration for the couples is the limited control they have over their routines. Producers are said to be closely controlling and monitoring their every move. Even the choice of songs has become a point of contention. The couples feel that their creativity is being stifled and are growing increasingly fed up with the situation.
Judge Denies Fixing Allegations
Judge Anton Du Beke recently addressed allegations that the judges have been asked to manipulate the results to keep certain contestants in the competition. Viewers have accused the show of giving higher scores to Angela Rippon, despite her dancing not deserving them, in order to secure her spot in the competition. Anton firmly denied these claims, stating that he has never been asked to fix the voting. He emphasized that the decision of who stays and who goes is not influenced by the judges.
Anton also made it clear that Angela's continued presence on the show is based solely on her talent and performance. He dismissed the notion that the judges have any personal investment in the outcome. According to him, the producers have never approached him to request favoritism towards a specific contestant.
While the viewers see a glamorous and entertaining show, the behind-the-scenes conflicts and tensions highlight the challenges faced by the performing couples on Strictly Come Dancing. The battle for creative freedom and fairness continues as the competition progresses.
