Strictly’s Kevin Clifton hinted at show drama as he slammed pro for ‘making it obvious’ they didn’t like their partner

THE Strictly Glitterball has been tarnished by the revelations about Graziano and Gio and there is no going back for the show.

With other celebrities making their feelings known daily, this is not how the BBC saw their flagship show going into its next season, celebrating its 20th anniversary.

This dark cloud will forever change the show and all eyes will be on the dancers, the celebrities, their relationships and dynamics.

I am sure, with precautions being made, there will be less spark with the stars and this will, too, be a shame as the chemistry is something the audiences love and talk about.

Strictly is a bright star and one of the biggest shows on the planet. Not only does it bring families together, it has an effect that can be felt UK-wide with people up and down the country tuning in to enjoy it.

Also, it's important not to tarsnish everyone on the show with the same brush.

Most of the professional dancers have had an impeccable record and it’s a shame to bring up past stars, who are no longer on the show, as well as the current stars who put their life and soul into performing each week.

The BBC has a responsibility and duty of care and, with new infrastructures in place, hopefully the brand will get beyond this and continue giving joy to so many millions of people who view it religiously.
