Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas has called for "respect" after receiving hurtful comments on social media.The head judge, 62, posted on Twitter following the BBC One show's Movie Week special, which saw the exit of Radio 2's Richie Anderson and his partner Giovanni Pernice. Many fans were baffled by Shirley's comments following Sunday night's dance off, when she said she would have saved Richie over X Factor star Fleur East, despite her receiving all three of her fellow judge's votes to stay in the competition.
How much Strictly's professional dancers get paid - it's nothing compared to celebs
23.09.2022 - 22:19 / msn.com
Strictly Come Dancing is hitting our screens and celebrities will be busy putting on their dancing shoes to pair up with their professional partners. This year viewers will see Will Mellor, Helen Skelton and Kym Marsh take to the Strictly dance floor alongside other famous faces from TV, music, sport and comedy to try and win the Glitterball trophy in Strictly 2022. Every year the professionals put together spectacular dance routines for their celebrity partners, all whilst performing in elaborate dance sequences with their professional crew too.
Dancers like Gorka Marquez, Oti Mabuse and Giovanni Pernice put their hard work and years of dance training into their gruelling schedules ahead of the Saturday night weekly show. However, all that work and training must come with a hefty salary right? Well it turns out the Strictly professionals aren't paid as highly as you would think. The BBC has never officially revealed what each dancer is paid, but it has been reported that each one is paid a flat fee of between £35,000 to £50,000 to appear on the show.
Whilst a £50k salary might sound nice, it comes with a lot of hard work too. Professionals rehearse for up to 14 hours per day, have to choreograph the routines for their celebrity partners and training also begins in the summer right up until the end of the series in December. It's no easy job that's for sure!If we calculate dancers as working six days a week (Monday to Saturday), for 14 hours per day from mid-August through until mid-December, the average hourly rate works out as £37.
20 per hour. Whilst it's a lot higher than minimum wage, it's still gruelling work and intense hours for over four months. If that £50k salary wasn't enough, there are other opportunities

Helen Skelton's Strictly Diary: ‘Does it mean no one likes me if I don’t get the votes?’
Strictly in the first place was to have fun, so I’m really pleased with how our Cha Cha Cha went last week, especially after a hideous dress-rehearsal on the Saturday afternoon. My professional partner Gorka Márquez’s approach is for me to not get hung up on the little things and to just have a good time. When we finished our dance we were the happiest out of the lot of us.
