Strictly Come Dancing: New Signing Sparks Fix Row

Background on Sarah Hadland

Strictly Come Dancing's latest contestant, Sarah Hadland, has raised concerns of a potential 'fix' row due to her extensive dance experience in the West End. The actress, whose mother was a ballerina, began training as a dancer at a young age and later pursued roles in musical theatre productions such as Cats and Grease.

Previous Work and Concerns

At 16, Hadland attended a musical theatre college before going on to star in popular TV shows like Miranda, The Job Lot, and Waterloo Road. She has also made appearances in films such as Quantum Of Solace and is set to feature in the upcoming BBC Three comedy Daddy Issues. Concerns were raised by her friend, Doctor Who actress Alex, who deemed it "unfair" to compete against Hadland given her ballet background.

Controversies and Crisis

Strictly Come Dancing has faced turmoil recently, with allegations of misconduct and mistreatment in rehearsals. Graziano was removed from the show following disturbing footage involving Zara McDermott, while Giovanni Pernice left amid investigations into his behavior towards Amanda Abbington. Despite the controversies, the judging panel remains intact with familiar faces like Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood.
