Borthwick’s involvement has angered some fans who believe that participants should have no prior dance experience. Borthwick has previously won the show’s Christmas special and has been part of the “EastEnders” cast since 2006. He would follow in the footsteps of “Coronation Street” star Ellie Leach, who won the previous season. The potential casting of Borthwick has raised questions about the integrity of the competition, as he has formal dance training. Some purists argue that contestants should be amateurs to ensure a level playing field. Sources claim that producers were impressed by Borthwick’s dancing skills during the Christmas special. However, his participation in the main series so soon after his victory could be seen as an unfair advantage. The BBC has declined to comment on the rumors, but the casting of Borthwick would likely further fuel criticism that “Strictly Come Dancing” has become too predictable and has lost its original charm. Meanwhile, professional dancer Aljaž Škorjanec has confirmed his return to the show for its 20th anniversary season. Škorjanec had previously left the series two years ago. His return has been met with mixed reactions, with some fans welcoming his experience and others expressing concerns about the show’s focus on celebrity appeal rather than dance talent.EastEnders star Jake Wood is reportedly in talks to join the cast of Strictly Come Dancing. The actor, who plays Max Branning in the BBC soap, is said to be a “top target” for the show’s producers. However, his inclusion would likely anger many viewers, who believe that soap stars should not be allowed to compete on Strictly. A source told The Sun: “Jake is a huge name and would be a great addition to the Strictly line-up. “He’s a great dancer and would be sure to bring in the ratings. “But there are also a lot of people who believe that soap stars shouldn’t be allowed to compete on Strictly. “They argue that it gives them an unfair advantage over other contestants, who don’t have the same level of training. “It’ll be interesting to see what happens if Jake does join the show. “There’s sure to be a lot of debate about whether or not it’s fair.”
