It has happened a few seasons, some do well and others flop - in series 6 three Eastenders actors went in four weeks - Phil Daniels out 1st, then Gillian Taylforth 2nd and Jessie Wallace was 4th out. All are white too.

It's only news if they exit early if they are black

You can tell I don't remember much about Strictly

But yeah, I think the main reason why people are so shocked is because her character on Eastenders is so well-liked, and her leaving early is an odd concept. Nothing to do with race, all to do with the scoreboard.
