BREAKING NEWS!! John Sergeant has announced that he is pulling out of the Strictly Come Dancing TV show after his endurance on the show made headlines in tabloids and broadsheets alike.

John is leaving the show as he realises that at this point there is a real chance he could win the show, and he wouldn’t want to deprive one of the ‘real dancers’ from that title.

In a statement, he said: “The trouble is that there is now a real danger that I might win the competition. Even for me that would be a joke too far.”

BBC One controller Jay Hunt said: “We are very sad to see him go.”

Sergeant, who was partnered with Russian dancer Kristina Rihanoff said: “I am sorry to say I have decided to leave Strictly Come Dancing.

“It was always my intention to have fun on the show and I was hoping to stay in as long as possible.”

John added that he would like “thank Kristina and all those viewers who have been rooting for me through the series”.

So what do you think? Should John have left or should he have been allowed to win the show and raise thousands more pounds for Children In Need? Leave your comments and thoughts below!
