A former Strictly Come Dancing pro who left after just one series has admitted he "did not have a lot of fun" during his time in the competition.
Gleb Savchenko appeared on the 2015 season of the hit BBC dancing show. As fans of the show may remember, Gleb joined the show alongside Giovanni Pernice that year, before reaching the semi-final with TV presenter Anita Rani.
But he left after just one series, making the move to Dancing With The Stars, the US version of the show.

Speaking in a recent interview with OnlineCasino.ca, Gleb revealed that he felt "stressed out every single week" during his time on Strictly due to having to come up with fresh choreography for each dance. He explained: "This is the hardest thing, you know when you’ve been given the music and you try to come up with a creative and an idea".
“[There are] teams helping you out with music choices and creative stuff, but with the choreography you have to come up with everything yourself, and you want to do something that will push your celebrity – not break her back or something like that, but at the same time... you want to always push yourselves.
“So when I did Strictly I was stressed out with Anita all the time and if you asked her she would be like ‘listen, we worked super hard but we did not have a lot of fun’. We kind of had fun, but it was more about, ‘OK, boom, boom go’."
Gleb added that he should have done things "differently" in order to have had more fun. Since moving to Dancing With The Stars, Gleb has partnered with the likes of Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause and Spice Girls singer Melanie C.
