Strictly Come Dancing 'will allow same-sex couples for the first time next year'

The Mirror

One insider revealed to the publication: "Bosses have said while there aren't any same sex pairings in this series, they'd definitely be open to it, given the right combination of celebs and dancers.The source added bosses had done a U-turn after realising other nations had embraced the idea, such as Dancing With The Stars in Australia, which most recently saw drag artist Courtney Act dance with a male professional.

"We are completely open to the prospect of including same sex pairings between our celebrities and professional dancers in the future, should the opportunity arise."

oh dear god why ..oh its political correctness I forgot ! like nadia winning great British bakeoff

The campest show on telly and people are put off by same sex dance partners? It's only dancing, people, not gratuitous sex!

That’s awful! I mean really really awful! Couldn’t care less about men dancing with men and all that, but this show is truly awful! 😂

I won’t be watching that any more.

I will not be watching any more Stricltly if men dance with men and females dance with females it will be a complete farce and I'm not alone lots of my male friends said they will stop watching the show BBC take note. Ps I'm not homophobic just enjoy mixed couples dancing.

Its curious that by 'same sex' most of the knuckle draggers instantly think of two men dancing together.. I'll say a word, you say the first thing that comes to mind.. and that is what you're most interested in..

Oh well

I think some of the older generation may have an issue, I don't watch it but I would hope people would not have a problem.

Height of Ridiculousness. Ballroom dancing is between a man and a woman. Where the fuck does sexuality come into that? As ever the TheBBCtv leads the way in the race to the bottom. Literally.

I cant believe the hate still out there for same sex relationships. I dont understand the negative comments on here. If people like the show and like watching the dancing, does it really matter if it's a man and a woman or 2 men or 2 women. Love is love, get over it! Strictly

and instantly lose 75% of their audience pandering to those who want this to happen ,the maj do not want same sex partner on strictly ,

Think they did it in sweden already a few years ago... love it.🤗🤗🤗

Do you know the real strictly “curse”? A third of the presenters have died

I think people will still watch it but how people vote, will see that a same sex couple don’t win.

Won't be watching this shite

And at that point I switch off .

Views on this piersmorgan ?

I love this!!!

Tragic. Won’t be watching bloke on bloke. World has gone mad. 2019 is a load of shite!

A step to far for most people it’s a good job they run out of A listed celebrities, this will be a nail in the coffin older people will not be comfortable with it

A bold move, but don’t see it working. This will definitely turn off some of the viewers in the long term. Will change the dance style with all female partnerships, as any lifts may be an issue.

Was already ruined with two female presenters. Now this!!! Tarah then

it doesn’t bother me but I can see many many older bbc viewers turning off or over.

this is such a good idea!

i think this is actually a great idea i’m so excited for this and the comments on here are actually disgraceful to read people shouldn’t be so ignorant

THE WORLDS GONE MAD ,ITS THE FINAL SHOW I WILL WATCH THIS YEAR

Thank god i dont watch it

Wow some of the comments on this post are disgusting I think it's a great move by strictly

Pc gone mad

The clicks from the OFF switches will be audible when this happens. Well done you've FINALLY killed the show now BBC 👏👏👏

Shock will it be renamed strictly come prancing.

Good. But i still won`t be watching it!!

Will they be wearing lots of glitter? 🤮🤮🤮

We''ll have adults dancing with kids next just to push the paedo narrative.

Christ, why I’m fairly sure ballroom dancing has for decades been one of the most tolerant environments with zero requirements to virtue signal.

The end.

Still a boring tv show!
