Sarah Hadland, a contestant on this year's Strictly Come Dancing, is facing criticism over her extensive dance background, having trained from a young age and performed in West End productions like Cats and Grease. Her previous experience has sparked allegations of a 'fix' among some fans who argue that trained dancers have an unfair advantage. Hadland, who has been invited to join the show multiple times over the past decade, acknowledges the concern but believes both trained and non-trained contestants can offer captivating performances. Meanwhile, fellow contestant JB Gill, who previously won the Christmas special of Strictly and has dance experience from a past reality show, is also being scrutinized for potential advantages. Amid these controversies, the show has been grappling with allegations of misconduct and dissatisfaction among female contestants regarding rehearsal conditions. Judges and hosts from previous seasons are returning as the show prepares for its next installment.
