BBC Strictly Come Dancing pro blasts judges for saving Angela Rippon after 'worst ever dance'

Strictly Come Dancing legend Brendan Cole has criticised the show for saving Angela Rippon after her "worst ever dance". The broadcaster and her pro dancer Kai Widdrington were in the dreaded dance-off against Adam Thomas and Luba Mushtuk last weekend, but all four judges voted to save Angela, a decision that has sparked backlash online.

And it's not just fans who have been left shocked at the judges' decision – former dancer Brendan, 47, who was a pro dancer on the BBC show from 2004 to 2018, has also argued that the judges made the wrong choice and that Adam's dance was "much better." Speaking to The Sun, he admitted that while he didn't "see a mis-step" from Angela, he did notice a "massive wobble at the end." He confessed: "Her timing was a little off.

She had turned out feet which you can't really have in ballroom dancing. "It was her worst dance, and she didn't perform it as well as she did the first time she performed it.

Adam and Luba were much better in the dance-off than Angela and Kai." Brendan continued: "Having said that, in general, Angela has been much better than what Adam has been.
