Former Strictly pro calls for major shake-up ahead of new series
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A former Strictly Come Dancing professional has revealed his enthusiasm for witnessing an all-stars edition of the programme. Ian Waite, who graced the BBC's Saturday night sensation from 2004 to 2010, has floated the idea that a special series featuring fan-favourite pairs who have already appeared on the show could be a major draw for the audience. During an exclusive conversation with BANG Showbiz, Ian opened up about the potential for such a series. He said: "It's definitely something that they could look into because there's so much nostalgia." Ian, who during his tenure on Strictly Come Dancing was paired with well-known figures like Zoe Ball, Denise Lewis and singer Mica Paris, fondly reflected on his previous collaborations. (Image: BBC) He nostalgically recalled his time on the show, commenting: "Everybody loves the old pros from Strictly and the nostalgia that goes around it with certain couples, let's say Darren (Bennett) and Jill Halfpenny and me and Zoe Ball, Vincent (Simone) with Rachel Stevens," reports Wales Online. Convinced that the return of celebrated partnerships would captivate viewers, Ian remarked: "There's a lot of couples that could possibly come back and yeah, an all-stars would be a great thing to do I think." Despite the recent issues that have cast a shadow over the show, including the complaints made by Amanda Abbington about her professional partner Giovanni Pernice in the 2023 season, Ian remains hopeful for the future of Strictly Come Dancing. Giovanni has since left the pro line-up, alongside Graziano Di Prima after a BBC investigation into the show. (Image: Getty) Ian believes that the introduction of new safeguarding measures will help prevent similar incidents. Reflecting on his time on the show, he remarked: "This is an isolated case I think. In general the pros are really professional and really hard-working. In my experience, we've all worked really hard, we've all done competitions, we're all at the top of our game and that's why we're on Strictly. "Hopefully the safeguarding is in place now so that that won't happen again and I think that's the best for everybody really because it protects not only the celebrities but it protects the pros - because who's to say we won't be abused." Ian is currently taking part in The Return of the Legends tour with fellow former Strictly stars Brendan Cole, James Jordan, Pasha Kovalev, and Vincent Simone. (Image: BBC) He has been taken aback by the strong sense of brotherhood they've formed, despite their naturally competitive natures. He shared: "That's what's been so great, we've got this really great bromance backstage. "I wasn't really sure whether we'd all be able to bond because we've all done our own shows and been very successful performing in our shows. "We weren't sure whether we'd be able to get on but actually it's like a proper bromance backstage and we all love each other. We all appreciate each other." The Return of the Legends tour is set to grace the stages of Llandudno's Venue Cymru and Cardiff's New Theatre later this year. Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One and iPlayer later this year.

Gregg Wallace gives a very direct response to fan asking if he has trousers on
Former MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace has hit back at social media users questioning the findings of a report that saw him forced to leave the BBC cooking show Former MasterChef host Gregg Wallace has hit back at an Instagram user seemingly referring to his alleged conduct during his time working at the BBC. In November 2024 it was announced that Wallace would step away from his role on the BBC cooking show while historical allegations of misconduct were investigated. Wallace issued an apology saying he was "deeply sorry for any distress caused" and that he "never set out to harm or humiliate" in the wake of the Lewis Silkin review, which upheld 45 out of 83 allegations made against him. One of the allegations came from a complaint from a former MasterChef worker who accused Wallace of dropping his trousers in front of her - something Wallace denies. In a fresh comment on social media today, Wallace claimed the allegation was one of the 38 dismissed by the independent inquiry. Posting on Instagram, Wallace shared a video of himself and wife Anna celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary. But the comment section was more focused on discussing Wallace's recent scandal. One Instagram user wrote to Wallace: "I'm surprised she stayed with you after the things you were accused of though." Wallace replied: "Maybe because she realised I was just accused and they weren't true." Another comment aimed as Wallace reads: "Are your trousers up or for a friend." In response, Wallace wrote: "no allegations of that type were upheld. What made you think they were, please?" Last month, Wallace again apologised to anyone hurt by his behaviour, but insisted he is "not a groper, a sex pest or a flasher". In fresh comments to The Sun, Wallace acknowledged that he had said things that "offended people, that weren't socially acceptable and perhaps they felt too intimidated or nervous to say anything at the time. I understand that now – and to anyone I have hurt, I am so sorry." He added: "I'm not a groper. People think I've been taking my trousers down and exposing myself – I am not a flasher. People think I'm a sex pest. I am not.' The former greengrocer also said his recent autism diagnosis means he struggles "to read people". "I know people find me weird," he said. "Autism is a disability, a registered disability." Earlier this week, Wallace and John Torode's final series of amateur MasterChef landed on BBC iPlayer after both presenters were dropped from the popular cooking show. The first three episodes of the 21st series were released on iPlayer early on Wednesday morning, ahead of the first episode airing on BBC One at 8pm. Both presenters can be seen in the introduction shots of episode one, with Torode saying: "This is the sort of stuff that dreams are made of", while Wallace can be seen telling a contestant 'that is a cracker of a job'. Torode was the subject of an allegation about using racist language that was upheld as part of the Lewis Silkin review, but the TV star said he had "no recollection of the incident" and was "shocked and saddened" by the allegation. Last month the BBC confirmed the series, which was filmed last year before allegations against Wallace and Torode were upheld, would be broadcast in August, adding that it had "not been an easy decision in the circumstances."
