In what must be one of the strangest decisions of the week, John Sergeant resigned from participating in the BBC ballroom dancing competition, Strictly Come Dancing, because it looked like he might win the thing. Each week millions laughed and giggled at John’s fumbled dancing routines. A nation took this man to their heart as he entertained. All the while the judges on the show sat fuming and spat acidic remarks towards Mr Sergeant’s dancing style.

Fellow competitors were also non-plussed, as the worst dancer in the competition got stronger as each week passed and bookies making him one of the hot favourites to win in the Strictly Come Dancing betting stakes.

You have to question why did they (the producers) put him on the show from the beginning. From looking at John Sergeant you don’t have to see him dance to know he can’t dance. Strictly Come Dancing is a light entertainment show that now wants to be taken seriously. But for that to happen it needs support from the public. But the public have already shown what they want to see by keeping John Sergeant safe every other week. I’m sure Strictly Come Dancing won’t be the same without him. Murder on the dance floor no more.
