The Strictly Come Dancing judges have spent this week lamenting the persistance of John Sergeant.

John has consistently been at the bottom end of the Strictly leaderboard from week one, yet the public are voting in their thousands to keep him on the show.

John has hit back at the judges and their criticisms by telling The Mirror:

“I wish they would stop saying it is a travesty and unfair for me to still be in the show.

“If not, then they should resign. If they are so upset, they should never have agreed the contract. Everyone knows that the public vote for half of it, so there’s nothing I can do about it. But I’m still enjoying it very much.”
