Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke has revealed the one big difference he has seen in the BBC show from when it first started.
Anton Du Beke, a judge and former professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, notes that the celebrity contestants on the show are different now compared to when he first joined. He says that in the past, they knew most of the celebrities, but now he doesn't recognize half of them.
He attributes this to the changing entertainment landscape and the rise of reality TV, contrasting Strictly with shows like Love Island where the focus is on young, attractive individuals.
Du Beke believes that Strictly prioritizes relatable celebrities who reflect the show's audience.
Despite a scandal-ridden year, Du Beke considers the 2024 series to be the best in the show's history.
