Former Strictly Come Dancing star Kristina Rihanoff has called for the BBC show to be “rested” for a year amid the ongoing changes to its cast of professional dancers.
The celebrity dance competition is currently undergoing a significant overhaul following the shock departure of long-time hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, and it was reported earlier this week that Michelle Tsiakkas, 30, Gorka Márquez, 35, Luba Mushtuk, 36, Nadiya Bychkova, 36, and Karen Hauer, 43, had been dropped from the show.
