Do the professional dancers get paid more if they are paired up with someone who is obviously not going to make it to the final ( eg Anton with Ann Widdecombe)?

[Old_Geezer]

Can't see why they would be. Aren't they all paid an absolute unjustifiable fortune for being the professional entertainer regardless ?

I think they get paid for the whole series. Potentially they all dance in the group dances when performers are on and to open the show and so on

I wondered if it was something like that - thanks for your answers.
