BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans joke someone 'should face trial' as star returns after backlash

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Strictly Come Dancing fans didn't hold back in their thoughts about Lauren Oakley's official return to the ballroom. The professional dancer was part of the 2024 series despite not getting a celebrity dance partner this year.

She was seen being part of the professional dancers' group numbers and the musical performance during the pre-recorded results shows as well as supporting her fellow Strictly stars each week in the 'Claudatorium' with co-host Claudia Winkleman.

However, Lauren has now found herself competing in the BBC One dance contest alongside JB Gill after she initially stepped in for his dance partner and her friend Amy Dowden earlier this month.

But last weekend, Amy was forced to miss the first-ever 'Icons Week' on Strictly after "falling ill" the weekend before and missing a week of rehearsals to rest.
