John Sergeant’s Strictly Come Dancing partner, Kristina Rihanoff, has claimed that he was “savaged” during his time on the show

John announced his decision to leave the show last week after it became clear that he maight actually
win the series.

“Some judges’ remarks crossed the line of taste and respect and they became harder for him to take. Yet it was because the judges were so mean that the public kept us in,” Rihanoff told the News Of The World.

“John was like a lamb led to the slaughter. They just let him be savaged. In the end we felt like we were caught in a war zone between the judges and the public.”
