Strictly Come Dancing has once again found itself at the center of controversy as fans accuse show bosses of giving preferential treatment to a celebrity contestant. The allegations emerged after the star-studded lineup for Strictly's highly anticipated 2024 live arena tour was announced.
Fix claims surround the 2024 tour lineup
The annual tour, which features performances from celebrities and professionals from the previous series, has sparked fresh fix claims. Fans have speculated that show bosses are giving one particular celebrity an "easy ride" in the TV program, leading to accusations of favoritism.
Confirmed celebrities for the tour include Corrie's Ellie Leach and broadcasting icon Angela Rippon. However, it is Rippon's inclusion that has raised eyebrows among fans, who believe the judges have been lenient towards her on the show.
Backlash on social media
On platforms like Reddit, fans expressed their thoughts on Rippon's spot in the lineup. One user commented, "Ah, that's why they're going so easy on Angela R." Another wrote, "What a bad time to announce this because now the conspiracy theories and hate about her will ramp up even more."
It is worth noting that the show has faced fix claims throughout the season, with the latest controversy revolving around Rippon. Former Strictly pro James Jordan accused the judges of favoring Rippon over another contestant, Adam Thomas, in a recent dance-off.
Defending the judging
Judge Craig Revel-Horwood has come forward to defend the scoring, asserting that he is "not always the villain." Despite the backlash, Rippon has managed to win the hearts of Strictly fans with her impressive performances and determination as the show's oldest-ever competitor.
Angela Rippon's game plan
In an exclusive interview with The Celeb Report, Rippon shared her approach to the competition. She acknowledged that she may not be as fit or strong as the younger contestants but emphasized her commitment to giving her all. She expressed her desire to be challenged and to perform each routine to the best of her ability.
As the controversy surrounding Strictly Come Dancing continues, fans eagerly await the upcoming live arena tour to see how the celebrities will perform on the big stage.
