AJ Pritchard clashes with Jeremy Kyle as he labels Strictly 'so woke it's unwatchable'

Former Strictly Come Dancing pro AJ Pritchard has clashed with TV host Jeremy Kyle after the latter branded the show "so woke it's unwatchable".

Jeremy then looked to Kevin for backup, asking him: "Has it gone woke?"

“Now that’s fine, if the BBC want to do that, that’s fine. But they should ask themselves, ’Is that what the audience
