Strictly bosses blame budget cuts
Strictly Come Dancing bosses have blamed budget cuts for the show losing out to the X Factor in the ratings battle, according to reports.

Strictly Come Dancing bosses have blamed budget cuts for the show losing out to the X Factor in the ratings battle, according to reports.
A peak of 15.8million viewers tuned in to see Rachel Adedeji knocked out of the X Factor, while Zoe Lucker's elimination from Strictly was seen by only 9.5million.
Angry Strictly producers have put their poor showing down to limits on pay for celebrity contestants.
A BBC insider told News of the World: "They put a ÂĢ50,000 cap on celeb fees this year, so we couldn't sign up big stars like Kelly Brook or Penny Lancaster-Stewart.
"And ITV splashed out on a new set and live results show. Our set looks tired in comparison and we dropped our results show.
They added: "Next year the BBC needs to invest properly and sign some major stars or Strictly won't be around forever like we hoped."
Meanwhile, the Strictly Come Dancing tour has been hit by a pay dispute as the dance professionals are angry at being paid less than the celebs.
One of the professionals previously told the News of the World: "Yet again, it's one law for the celebs and another for us dancers.
"Often dancers are bigger stars than the celebs. Take Ola Jordan - she is a far bigger draw than, say, Lynda Bellingham.
"We feel like we are being treated as second-class citizens."

Ali Bastian, Natalie Cassidy and Zoe Lucker have all signed up for the upcoming Strictly Come Dancing tour. Joining them on the dancefloor will be previous contestants Kelly Brook, Austin Healey and Mark Ramprakash.
Arlene Philips, will also make a return to the judging panel and will once more sit beside Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Craig Revel Horwood
Jade and Ian- Tango
Phil and Katya-Foxtrot
Ricky G and Erin- Viennese Waltz
Ricky W and Natalie- Jive
Laila and Anton- Rumba
Anton and Laila's rumba should be interesting too
What Arlene said is nothing compared to arrogant rude Alesha.
I think a lot of peeps have gone off her and quite rightly so
Nothing Alesha said on Saturday is as bad as the others have said about him during the past weeks e.g Craig but the bosses should really tell them off no wonder the public voting goes against what the so called experts say.
I was never an Alesha basher BUT she really was way out of line , really personal and hurtful and dare I say it 'Spiteful'. Not only did she rip Craig to shreds, she actually let herself down.Acted liked a nasty petulant madam!
I hope someone has a word with her because if she continues in this vein, she will loose any fans that she has (IMO)
People have ranted at Craig on the forums etc and been harsh with some of the stuff they've said about him, so thats just as bad as what the 4 judges said. He did think he was better than what he was but he tried his hardest just a relief he went anyway. Think she will have regretted what she said...
Bless Craig, he did think he was really good but people voted for him so he had every right to be there. The judges should know by now that the 'better' dancers don't always go through.
I have to say i don't think Alesha's done herself that well by choosing to be a judge on this show and i think thats a shame.
I thought Ali and Brian's VW was soo beautiful. I hope they win
Ricky Whittle linked to Strictly partner Natalie Lowe
Pair spotted having meal in Liverpool
Tuesday, 10 November 2009
Ricky Whittle and Strictly Come Dancing partner Natalie Lowe are rumoured to be dating.
The pair were spotted having a meal with Natalie's parents in Liverpool on Sunday.
âThey looked very cosy and it certainly seemed as though her mum and dad took to Ricky,' says an onlooker.
Hollyoaks hunk Ricky, 27, recently split from his co-star Carley Stenson after two years.
A BBC spokeswoman has refused to comment on the romance rumours.
But she told the Daily Mirror: âThere is clearly a great deal of chemistry between them.'
Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday on BBC1 at 6.50pm.
Jade looked good tonight, these dresses are out of this world.
Chris Hollins and Ola Jordan- Paso Doble
Natalie Cassidy and Vincent Simeone- Foxtrot
Ricky Groves and Erin Boag- Viennese Waltz
Ricky Whittle and Natalie Lowe- Jive
Ali Bastian and Brian Fortuna- Cha Cha Cha
Phil Tufnell and Katya Virshilas- American Smooth
Laila Rouass and Anton Du Beke- Rumba
Dances for Saturday all confirmed.
Good luck to her, will be interesting to see how she copes if it's true she's doing IACGMOOH.
Ricky and Natalie if it's true good luck to them, all these showmance rumours are annoying though in dancing you spend a lot of time together, maybe the chemistry developed lots.

Alesha's former Misteeq band member. Obviously trying to start up a music career again. Lots of familiar faces in there if that is the line up...
She must be the best page 3 girl ever.
Camilla Dallerup, she's lovely isn't she?
And Katie Price, Wow, she's a live wire to say the least.
So I think it's going to be an interesting program.
However, Tess Daly will be stepping into Bruce's presenting shoes.
