More trouble for Strictly as stars quit over pay

As if all the hoo-ha with ditching Arlene Phillips in favour of Alesha Dixon wasn’t enough of a headache for the Strictly Come Dancing bosses, now some of the stars lined up to take part in the show have quit after massive fee cuts were announced. Sharon Osbourne and Richard Madeley have quit the show over money "issues", with another unnamed star reported to have withdrawn from the show. And not just that – many of the dancers on Strictly have refused to sign new contracts as their usual £35,000 fee has been severely reduced. Even co-host Brucie has taken a £160,000 pay cut. Whatever's next for Strictly?

I was looking forward to watching Sharon on Strictly, she would have been very entertaining!

Money grabbing shits! It's a fun program that raises your profile and makes you popular, what a bunch of. As for Osbourne, good riddance love. Mind you, she's very hard up these days so I'm sure she needed the money.... not.
