As they comment on the “fix” row, a Strictly Come Dancing star charges the judges of predetermining their scores.
James Jordan, a Strictly Come Dancing contestant, has responded to suggestions that the show is “fixed.”. as well.
Up until 2013, the professional dancer was a regular viewer of the show, tweeting his opinions about the dances in real time every week. He had been on the show for seven years. Indeed.
The 45-year-old dancer criticized the judges’ scoring during Saturday’s live show without holding back, even going so far as to say that they decided on their scores before the dance had even begun. Hold on.
He posted on X, which was formerly known as Twitter, saying, “It’s almost like the judges watch the rehearsals and decide their scores, but when things go wrong, they don’t know what to do.
When Claudia Winkleman told Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin that they had made Strictly history with their salsa, he doubled down on his remarks with a snide remark about her. No, wait.
Claudia has a great memory [crying laughing emoji], James joked, “How did she know that statistic so quickly? Have never had a 39 in 13 years in week 5.
When contacted by MailOnline, a Strictly representative refused to comment. Hold on.
On a night full of errors and missteps, Layton and Nikita managed to top the leaderboard with 39 points. No, wait.
Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer came in second and third with 24 points respectively, but they were eliminated from the show when they lost the dreaded dance-off to Zara McDermott and Graziano Di Prima. And so on.
Layton has usually finished in the top few spots overall, but he recently stated he believes the judges are giving him a lower score than his rivals.
The 29-year-old West End star has been the subject of false allegations because of his dance training, but he has admitted he believes it to be more of a barrier.
Layton gained fame for his performances in the TV hit Bad Education and as the lead in the musical hit, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. Indeed.
He acknowledged to The Guardian that he believes his musical theater experience plays a part in how the judges grade him.
But he was adamant: “I want to rise to the challenge; I’m not sad about that.
In response to criticism regarding his previous experience, Layton said, “I’ve taken it on the chin; I get what everyone’s saying.
James previously expressed his opinions about Layton, saying that celebrities have “no chance” of succeeding on the BBC program if they don’t already have dance training.
James said that Layton’s performance was one of his “favorite dances ever,” using him as an example.
“But this is only because Layton is a professional dancer,” James remarked. Layton is best known for playing the title role in the hit musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.
In an interview with Hello!, he clarified, saying, “He is a professionally trained dancer.”. You had essentially two professional dancers next to each other when they emerged.
“Oh, it’s because [Layton is] talented and has worked hard,” is not what we should say. The idea that someone can become that good after just one week of training kind of denigrates our dancing community. It is not possible for you.
Since he is a professional dancer, I can say that it was probably one of my favorite dances I have ever seen on the show.
James went on: “Do I think that by hiring dancers with professional training, Strictly is going too far? Absolutely.
“I advise anyone considering Strictly to avoid doing so unless they have dance training of some kind, as you will not have a chance.
As for the criticism, head judge Shirley Ballas, 62, called it “very unfair” and promised fans that learning ballroom was a “discipline all its own,” so it would not be an easy ride for those with prior experience.
She clarified, “There’s usually a little bit of dancing included if somebody goes to stage school for singing and acting.”. And so on.
Furthermore, according to her, to win over the judges, dancers with experience in other genres would still need to pick up brand-new techniques.
stating to the publication: “Unless they are in a group, a jazz dancer will dance independently and do their own thing.”.
When learning ballroom dancing, you truly need to practice dancing with a partner, which requires four arms, four legs, two heads, and two quarters. You must be integrated and collaborating.
