Nicole Attacks Strictly

Nicole Cutler has launched a scathing attack on Strictly Come Dancing in today's News Of The World.

Nicole tells how the dancers' reported £17,000 pay ended up being minimum wage, when the hours they work is taken into consideration: "The amount we got paid compared to the hours we actually put in rehearsing and performing meant we were on the minimum wage.”

Nicole on Bruce: “He is 80 so when he forgets our names we do understand because he manages to keep it together on the live show. But it can be a bit embarrassing not knowing if he actually knows who you are.”

Nicole on Tess: “In the three years of working on the show I never once had a conversation with Tess that wasn’t on camera. They make it look like she’s best mates with us all but she doesn’t talk to us off camera. She wouldn’t know what’s going on behind the scenes in a dance partnership.”

On last year's love triangle: “It was horrible to watch. I saw Vincent slowly crumble as the series went on. He started out friends with Matt and then when he found out he couldn’t bring himself to talk to him. But things had been disintegrating between Vincent and Flavia long before Matt arrived on the scene. The boys just had to avoid each other. Vincent was with Flavia for 13 years. But they’re good friends again now she and Matt are over.”

But even after the scathing attack in this article, Nicole still wants to keep the door open: “I’d love to come back and do the show again. It’ll be extremely hard to watch it and not be part of it.”

I wonder if everything in this article is 100% true. Did Nicole say all the things she is quoted as saying? That last comment doesn't add up. If it's so terrible, why would she be so keen to have another go? Hmm...
