Strictly Come Dancing: Brendan Cole Complains About Low Pay

October 21st, 2008 by Lynn. Tags: ,

Strictly Come Dancing pro Brendan Cole is reported to have said that his £30,000 Strictly Come Dancing pay is “too low.”

The judges on the show get £90,000 each for the three-month series and host Bruce Forsyth gets £450,000. All the pro dancers get the same deal as Brendan.

The 32-year-old said, “My money from Strictly just about pays the bills. I don’t have a car. I would like to get one, but until then I’m on the Tube.”

Speaking to Star magazine he added, “I don’t even own my house that I live in. I can’t afford it. I rent where I live.”

    I agree with Brendan. For the amount of work that the professional dancers put in it is disgusting that the judges and Bruce Forsythe get the amounts that they do. After all without the dancers who have to teach the celebrities the judges would have nothing to judge and Bruce, nothing to make small talk about.

    Well done Brendan.
