AJ Pritchard has quit the show.
 

Thank god

bye bye :laugh3: :laugh3:

salty bitch about not having made the final all of those times :joker: :joker:

That pro announcement went really well then

Daddy Marius can come into pro line up now :amazed:


and if we can ditch Katya too, we can get one more taller pro lady too, Queen Ekaterina Leonova :fc:

Katya is amazing x

is he speaking for himself in the 3rd person?

what a chump

Aw, first Kevin and now AJ.
Shame.

And I repeat Anton is still there !! TF :umm2::bored:

Im glad I never warmed to him

That said at this rate we wont even get a series this year

yes until he won the glitterball i guess

just liveshows without an audience


i am not finding that bored currently at all, at lets dance Germany

the contestants last week were in some audience seats, scattered of course across the room because of the distance rule

Travesty:umm2:

Your kidding right if we are in the same circumstances there wont be shows. There is a massive crew and cast on a show like this

no not kidding, most cast and crew at lets dance there don't have too much contacts with contestants, hosts and when they do still protective masks, gloves

and also cleaning everything backstage with anti-bacterial soap pre and after show

so a little more work there i guess but RTL came to a agreement with german government for its shows

Surely thats just silly to even take the risk. And now all I can imagine is people dancing around in masks and boiler suits

no, the dancing is fun as usual but no group hugs or that sort of thing

safety, health is important yes, but RTL also wants to keep the viewers who must stay at home entertained with their shows

so a combination of both safety and entertainment i guess

and to make up for public applause they got a ''fake applause button''


most of the tv viewers watch the show for the dancing anyway, not the audiences or all that group hugging, kissing crap

He's like an old tatty sofa that you can't get rid of, he must have his arse firmly nailed to Strictly bosses ! :facepalm: .

''relief to quit''

''show stopped him and curtis to become the new ant and dec''

:laugh3: :laugh3:

Says more about him that fame and Money is more important than the career he is mean to love

Like him and Curtis will be the new Ant and Dec. Dream on.

Imagine wanting your career to move forward, what a monster

I don't think the pros are on very good wages for the amount of work they have to put into the show anyway so who can blame him for wanting to progress into a much higher paid sector of the industry?

His career forward will be IAC and done with he ain't gonna be a big presenter

It depends how popular they are for instance Oti gets **** loads of extra work because she is popular all Aj gets is CBBC

Maybe so, but props on him for having the courage to try something

He's probably seen how much Curtis has managed to make compared to him from just doing 8 weeks on Love Island compared to the effort they have to go to on Strictly for a much weaker pay packet. I get the impression (I could be wrong) that the BBC are very strict with their stars' contracts in terms of what extra work they can do etc (for example on EastEnders Danny Dyer is allowed to do other shows with the BBC but was refused to do any with Dani Love Island related, whilst Jacqueline Jossa declined an invitation to go back to it because they wouldn't allow her to earn money from Instagram sponsorships and the like).

him leaving strictly for his career ok, but the way he leaves strictly, and this interview he did also puts him in a bad light

he kinda acts like he's some superstar :laugh:

first being confirmed among pro dancer line up and then suddenly quitting :skull:

Not only does the interview make him seem lazy as he wasnt cut out for an 18 hour day when that he gets paid for what would be someones dream job. Also the way he says about showcasing a celebrity makes him seem like he wants the limelight and that it should be all about him. I just dont warm to him and curtis at all

But it’s common knowledge that the strictly wage isn’t a great one. Most of the dancers are there because it’s strictly and not because of the money. And like the celebrities, they get paid more the longer they stay in so it’s sensible to try and pursue a more regular wage than risk getting a lower one for a popular show.

i stanned Lauren, but mostly for her, not AJ

i stanned Mollie, also mostly her, not him


more coming across as lazy in that interview, but also like he really thinks he's bigger than strictly :joker:

Good luck to him of course but him thinking he and Curtis are the next Ant and Dec is pure delusion.

Just because your opinion has changed of someone, doesn’t mean you have to immediately try and cover up the fact you ever liked them.

i don't though :shrug:

but ok fair enough i did give him a chance on strictly, now the way he quit the show combined with that interview, makes me think of him as such a fame hungry vain smug idiot

Just read the article and you'll have to point out where exactly he said this.

He said him and Curtis would love to be the next Ant and Dec, not ''think they will be'' but ''love to be.''

The money from Strictly might not be what it would be on a commercial channel. But it's hardly money to be sniffed at, compared to proper work it's a generous packet for what they do.

He didn't even tell them before he announced it.

Sorry but that is incredibly ungrateful and unprofessional.

He comes across as really ungrateful and full of himself

Yeah sadly he does

£30-35k.

Which, for 3-6 months of work, is not bad.... but I can see why someone in his position would vie for more.
