Strictly sparks backlash as Aljaz Skorjanec returns to show: ‘BBC running scared because Giovanni is gone’


Strictly Come Dancing has come under fire from fans following confirmation that beloved pro star Aljaz Skorjanec will return to BBC show.

“It feels so right to be coming back, I missed the fun, glitter and the judges of course and I hope to make my daughter Lyra proud!” ‘I can’t wait to make my return to the dance floor’ (Credit: BBC iPlayer) But while Aljaz will be reunited with many other beloved Strictly pros later this year, one familiar face won’t be joining him for the 20th series. It came amid reports of a BBC investigation following allegations concerning Giovanni’s training methods and his 2023 Strictly pairing with actress Amanda Abbington.
