Shocking way to treat Hayley
2 of 4
I believe Nicole Cutler received the same treatment when she wasn't asked to return - it was sometime after Matt was offered a new contract that she contacted the BBC only to find she was being dropped.

None at all- that is the really infuriating thing- they have to work 24/7 rehearsing, training and then choroegraphing

Gutless pathetic imbeciles
They're going to kill the show, they really will. Can they really expect pros to want to join the team if they'd be getting that kind of treatment?

Is that the idea do you think- I wonder how many of the burocrats watch X Factor instead of Strictly

It is a disgusting way to treat someone
Oh no, they wouldn't intentionally kill a show that pulled in thousands/millions of people, unless they were INCREDIBLY stupid, which they probably are to be fair

Look back to Ms Hunt's original statement about ditching Arlene- she used X Factor judges to descrive strictly judges- she is no fan of Strictly- she maybe deeply involved in the show- but the reality seems to be that she couldn'y give two hoots about it
That's true... Maybe it could be the case then, but I really hope it isn't. I'd hate to think they were trying to make this the last series of Strictly...
Yeah.. Can't they do something about her? But saying that, they'll all protect each other won't they

The treatment of Hayley, but the way the show is being treated, too.

It is disgusting- I really have my doubts as to how much the PTB value strictly- I reckon they are X Factor fans who want shot of a programme

It seems they want to bring it more 'downmarket'. Replacing character and warmth with soulless glitz to me.
On a personal level, I'm sorry for Hayley in that she was probably a little unfortunate in the last series to get a fairly quiet celeb as a partner, and since she was on the quiet side the partnership didn't quite spark. If she'd had John Sergeant as a partner it might have been a different story. Other pros (e.g. Matthew Cutler) haven't had very auspicious starts but have then established themselves. I think also, given that the majority of the pros have been asked back, it would have been polite of the BBC to have phoned, rather than emailed and explained the reasons, even though I accept that this was not a sacking, but simply a decision to not renew her contract.
However, in practical terms, I guess that's the way showbiz works, in that people have to grab their opportunities when they're given them, and if they do manage to get a second chance, then they will count themselves lucky. Also, from a viewer's point of view, given that she didn't really establish herself, I don't think this is going to make a lot of difference to the show itself.

Hayley is a bigshot in New Zealand, enjoying serious adulation with a big fanbase. She was invited and came in good faith half way round the world, disrupting her established career. So a partnership beyond Hayley's control happened to be outshone by a superstar, but Hayley did nothing to offend Strictly, and went to no tabloid to dish the dirt. She deserves better than a late late dismissal by impersonal email -- surprised the Beeb did not see fit to text Alan Sugar's two words. 
Hayley being also a sportswoman and professional snowboarder has never been a dyed-in-the-wool pro dancer, but the Beeb knew all about that before trying her out. Beware other tryouts for dancing or judging, this is how the Beeb discard tryouts who do not click first time.
