BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Neil Jones threatens to write to Ofcom over It Takes Two shocker

Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones suffered a shocker on the show's spin-off It Takes Two and joked he was going to contact Ofcom over his injustice. He was the latest of the BBC One dance contest's professional dancers to appear on the BBC2 show to find out their results of a new series challenge.

It Takes Two launched its Strictly Pro Challenge earlier this week and the challenge invites the show's professionals to set a new Guinness World Record for the most dance steps in 30 seconds. Karen Hauer was the first to find out how she did on Wednesday's edition of the show.

In 30 seconds Karen, who was partnered with comedian Jayde Adams for the 20th series of Strictly, completed 23 steps, overseen by judge Craig Revel Horwood. She was challenged to perform the most back Charleston kick-steps in 30 seconds. But she was in for an unwelcome surprise as she was told she had all of them disqualified. "I can't believe that. What happened?" cried host Janette Manrara.
