Strictly Come Dancing’s professional dancers are reportedly furious after the
judges ‘became embroiled in a pay rise row with the BBC’.

Shirley Ballas, 62, Craig Revel Horwood, 68, Motsi Mabuse, 49, and Anton Du
Beke, 56, are thought to be at loggerheads with the Line of Duty broadcaster
after asking for an 11% salary increase on their £200,000 wages for just a few hours work once a week for like a month.

The foursome are said to be demanding more money because of rising
inflation but it has been claimed the broadcaster has rejected their calls
leading to ‘something of a stand-off.’

Now the professional dancers, who reportedly earn a flat rate of between
£35,000 – £50,000 to appear on the show, are said to weighed in on the
debate.

They continued: ‘They work their a***s off for three months of the year,
while the judges swan in on a Saturday, watch some nice dancing and air
their thoughts.
