Susan Calman has defended her decision to dance with a male professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.
Calman said she was offended by the reaction, adding: “No one can say I haven’t stood up for my community.”
Calman also suggested she was receiving more flack as a gay woman than gay male contestants had done on the dance show – including The Reverend Richard Coles, a fellow member of the ”class of 2017“.
Judges Darcey Bussell, Craig Revel-Horwood, and Bruno Tonioli are all set to return for the new series of Strictly.
