Jeremy Kyle and Kevin O'Sullivan have been hit with backlash after they branded the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing as 'woke'. The pair made the comments as part of Piers Morgan: Uncensored on TalkTV on Wednesday, with Kyle stepping in to host the show in the absence of the former Good Morning Britain man.
They were joined by brothers AJ and Curtis Pritchard, who were among those who disagreed with criticism of Strictly. AJ has previously been a professional on Strictly while Curtis was one of the dancers on Ireland's Dancing with the Stars before going on Love Island.
Kyle, who presented The Jeremy Kyle Show for 14 years until its cancellation in 2019, claimed that the BBC show now "ticks boxes" with its celebrity line-up. He also said that Craig Revel Horwood, known for his gruff demeanour had "gone beige as well", reports the Express.
