John Sergeant's withdrawal from Strictly Come Dancing has received more press attention than it might deserve, having been covered on all the main news programmes including Newsnight as well as the obligatory It Takes Two, but it is intriguing even if you are immune to the appeal of the show. John decides to (quick) step down after numerous criticisms of him and the voting public not taking the dancing seriously and the main voice behind this was James Jordan after he and partner Cherie Lunghi got the boot on Sunday. Now James is saying John has done the wrong thing by leaving and more or less accused him of attention seeking on last night's It Takes Two. It looks to me like John's decision not to be the whipping boy anymore has not been accepted graciously, and I advise James to hang up his pumps and book a three month holiday next autumn as I doubt he'll get far with the voters.
exactly right about chubby chops john sergeant - good bloke. I know you've changed your thoughts a bit re: killer Kilroy so await your abject apology - maybe
