Will Young Leaves Strictly

[Sammy48]

I wonder why.

[tonyav]

It was because Anastasia Didn't compete in the dance off ( due to injury ) and Melvin Odoom was out without there being any dance off.

[campbellking]

Probably had enough of the exceedingly annoying and needy Karen Clifton...

[Cloverjo]

The rules do seem unfair. Going by this anyone in the dance-off could fake an injury and survive til the next week, when two other couples might have to face it.

In any other competition, like a tennis tournament, if you can't compete due to injury you're out.

Didn't he stick his fingers up to a caller on live TV on Saturday?

[hc4361]

Which tv programme?

[pond50]

A cookery programme it was in the papers

[hc4361]

5th December 2015. Don't think that is connected.

He does come across as a bit of a Diva.

Saw him on Paul OGrady a few years ago, he didn't like it when Paul's dog got a bit too near him, worried he might get a few dog hairs on his fancy clothes.

Went right off him after that.

[Cloverjo]

Perhaps he just doesn't like dogs, silliemillie.

I didn't see the programme, so dont know how big or aggressive the dog was.

I'm not mad about dogs, except ones I know are not going to bite me or jump up and lick my face.

[silliemillie]

I appreciate that not everyone likes dogs but his reaction to it was over the top. this dog was so small he sat on Paul's desk and a real softy, he used to accompany Paul on every show I'm sure they wouldn't have allowed that if he had been agressive in any way,

[hereIam]

I'm sorry he's gone as I liked him, but I do think 'personal reasons' is a bit of a cop out, we'll probably never know the correct reasons why.

[Bobsy]

Will Young leave Strictly ?

[tonyav]

Turns out that he is / was struggling with anxiety.

[DTCwordfan]

The Americans are reporting that he stuck two fingers up at the judges, presumably Len.

[weecalf]

I Was just wondering would it be possible that everyone connected to this programme leave to set up medical tents in some far flung area of this great planet .

[Hopkirk]

In a recent interview he claims to have PTSD.

I thought that was what soldiers got, you know, shell shock.
