Strictly Come Dancing has been nothing but sequins , shimmies, and sassy comebacks , but this weekend, it’s going to get very real with the first elimination. One celebrity’s journey on the BBC series will come to an abrupt end after a dance-off, and Nick Knowles could be the first to go due to his profession. Over the 21 previous series, one celebrity has had to do what nobody wants to – be the first to leave.
It now transpires that some of the people who’ve been told to kick, ball, change right off the premises have some things in common. Since Strictly began in 2004, 38% of the first stars to go have all been working as presenters, making it by far, the most common occupation (actor comes in second). It began with Quentin Willson before continuing with stars including Gregg Wallace , 59, Kaye Adams , 61, and most recently, Les Dennis , 70.
This puts Nick, 62, who is the host of DIY SOS , in a potentially vulnerable position. Sam Quek MBE , 35, is also a presenter but is perhaps known first and foremost for her incredible hockey career, and Olympic gold medal.
