He has just released another statement to say he is fine and the reason for leaving are normal and boring or some such lies

Treating fans and viewers like mugs

good luck getting any further promo save a few couches on daytime

They are but if you are a celeb on a show like Strictly you owe the audience the truth no some coy rubbish and lies "Im leaving with joy in my heart"

give me a break and just say why you left. I have no idea who is advising him but all this does is add fuel to the "he left in a flounce because he could not take critique"

..he has to put up with the critique though, I'm sure he's aware of that and quite media savvy...so it's really his choice what he chooses to say in any explanation...

I blame the BBC tbh

They should have stood up to him and told him that "personal reasons " is not good enough for the fans/audience and that he has to give a proper reason. He has been vocal in the past talking about his demons so its not like he has no previous.

They let John Seargent off the hook with his "Im taking votes from real dancers" bolloxio only to later find out that he was booked on a very lucrative speaking date on a cruise and he did not want to miss it.

the 2 media experts I have heard so far on the radio this morning have both agreed with my view so I am not alone.

..I can't actually believe that we're having this conversation, LT......the nation needs to know and should know what Will Young's personal reasons are for leaving an entertainment dance show...but privacy is questioned with a lesser celebrity of a US presidential candidate when discussing sexual assault in a conversation as being his practise...how weird...

If he doesn't want to say then leave him alone. It must be something pretty personal.

really?

"Young, 37, sent a text to BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show host Chris Evans (today) after quitting the contest, which was read out on air.

It said: "Here's the thing. I'm absolutely dandy, thanks. It's all very undramatic, really.

"I've done my statement and others can say what they want to say. I never read what they say anyway (more lies)."

Good on him for not caving in and keeping his personal life just that, personal.

Only person I feel for is Karen.

I couldn't stand him to be honest

Reminded me of his pop idol days when he would argue with Simon Cowell as he refused to believe he was anything but exceptional but to argue with len was a joke of course len knows a lot more than him about dance I feEl he can't accept criticism and I'm glad he is out I feel bad for Karen because I really like her but I hope tameka gets a 2nd chance now

i agree with you, and i don't think Tameka will get a second chance, because they have never done that before, bring a celeb back, so i don't think they will do that now


Karen is a good dancer, she finally had someone who could've gone really far in the competition, and he just quits for personal reasons

Its not his personal life its the reason why he dumped his dance partner, left strictly, threw the show into a spin and let down all the people who voted for him.

No one cares about his "personal life" but they do want to know why he flounced off the show

I think the rude old toad Len Goodman got to him. He effectively told Will to shut up. Sometimes life is too short. As for Len, it is his last series, thank God.

I actually agree. I thought he was a bit out of order with Len. And I agree the routine had way too much bollywood. Where was the salsa?

Was LT furiously voting for Will I agree that given it's a programme that relies on viewer votes he might have been a bit more forthcoming, saying he is fine and dandy in the same breath as I quit does seem like a flounce and he should be replaced as it's not fair on his dance partner
