Report: 'Strictly' pros fear for jobs

Rex Features

Professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing are reportedly fearing for their jobs amid talks of a shake up to next year's show.

The seasoned pros on the BBC contest have been unsettled by the popularity of newcomers Brian Fortuna, Hayley Holt and Kristina Rihanoff, according to The Sun.

An insider said: "Everyone's scared they're for the high jump. It's making things really unpleasant backstage. There's a feeling the established stars were resting on their laurels.

"Brian and Hayley have brought a new sparkle - and no-one could have guessed how popular Kristina would be. No-one's announced changes officially but dancers are only contracted per series. It's a lot of pressure to be under."

Christine Bleakley became the latest celebrity to be eliminated from the show at the weekend, losing the dance-off to Rachel Stevens.
