Strictly star Toyah Willcox, 66, reveals she rejected TWO pro dance partners due to their 'inappropriate age' before signing up saying, 'I didn't want a young person's head near my crotch'


Strictly star Toyah Willcox has revealed she rejected two professional dance partners due to their 'inappropriate age' before signing up for the BBC show.

In an exclusive interview, Toyah explained that she didn't want to perform 'intimate' routines with someone too 'young' so also declined to be partnered with Ukrainian dancer Nikita Kuzmin, 26, due to their 40-year age difference. This week's show will see former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, JLS singer JB Gill, comedian Chris McCausland and actress Sarah Hadland compete to be named Strictly champion after Pete Wicks narrowly missed out on reaching the final. Toyah insists BBC producers need to listen to viewers after they voted to keep ex-TOWIE star Pete in the competition for weeks despite him continually receiving low marks from the judges while Tasha, who is professionally trained, has been in the dance-off twice.
