Strictly Come Dancing will feature no same-sex couple in its 2024 line up for the first time in five years - with insiders suggesting bosses want to return BBC show to its 'traditional roots' following string of scandals
One source said that while the broadcaster wanted to be seen as 'inclusive and progressive' executives are aware that 'not everyone is going to like' same-sex pairings.
Producers took the decision earlier this month, it is believed, with some insiders suggesting it was a way of returning the hit BBC1 show to its traditional roots following a series of high-profile scandals. Professionals Johannes Radebe and Graziano di Prima made history when they became the first same-sex couple to dance together on the show in 2019. They include Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, who is trained in commercial dance, singer Toyah Willcox and actress Sarah Hadland.
