James Jordan has hit out at Strictly Come Dancing bosses after seeing pro dancer Neil Jones miss out on having a celebrity partner again.
Neil has been a fan favourite on Strictly for a number of years, having joined the BBC show as a pro in 2014. However, so far, Neil has only actually made it onto the line-up twice, with Alex Scott in 2019, when he and the England Women's footballer turned TV host finished fifth and with ex EastEnders actress Nina Wadia last year, with them getting the boot much earlier than viewers expected.
After this year's launch show was delayed a week in the aftermath of the Queen's death, it finally aired on Friday night on BBC One, just 24 hours before the first live show takes place. James, who partnered the likes of Vanessa Feltz, Pamela Stephenson and Denise Van Outen during his time on Strictly, is known for being outspoken with his views on the show that shot him to TV fame and was among the many to tune in.
