We've barely had time to memorise the names of this year's Strictly contestants yet and already we've got another tiresome "cheating row" on our hands. This time Hollyoaks' hunk Ricky Whittle is in the frame, and killjoys are moaning that he has an unfair advantage having taken part in Comic Relief's Let's Dance earlier this year. Ricky and his Hollyoaks' co-stars were taught a routine by Strictly choreographer Richard Marcel, and now show insiders fear the other contestants will complain he has had too much experience. One source said, "It's really unfair as all the contestants are supposed to be total novices." heatworld personally thinks this is all a load of custard. And anyway, surely the fact that Ricky's promised to dance in a thong if he wins is more a cause to get worked up. We certainly know who we'll be voting for! Do you think these complainers have a valid point, or should they just shut up and leave Strictly alone?
