"This year is more of a celebration of queerness and the LGBTQI+ community," he added.John went on: "Please do not use my partnership with Johannes to undermine that of Richie and Giovanni's."In the caption for the post he penned: "Putting this here as requested."I don’t usually speak up against trolls or vitriol disguised as journalism, but I think it’s time to start. "Hateful words, like those written by Allison Pearson, could be read and taken for gospel by someone, who then turns on a person from a minority group."Worse still, someone from a minority group could read those poisonous words and turn on themselves."Let’s start putting these fires out with a calm sense of kindness and truth."And if Allison argues that it is indeed solely about the dancing, then I’d have to ask why single out the minority groups? "Review them all, if the dancing is what’s upsetting you."Rose, in response, took to her Instagram stories and shared a screenshot of John's video and wrote: "Please have a look at John's story… "Thank you for speaking up about this @john_whaite."She directed her comments at those who think TV is "too woke".The dancer hit out at these people as being "too privileged" to notice the benefits of the progressive show. Rose added the new direction of the show was a "huge deal" for minority groups. She also urged the critic not to compare her to Ellie, as they have "different" life experiences that are "not comparable".Paralympic swimmer Ellie has achondroplasia, the most common cause of dwarfism and has previously said on ITV's This Morning that "disability representation" on Strictly is "so important".
