There appears to be a co-ordinated management plan now to rubbish Ann (Bruce, Len, Alesha, Bruno, Tess), to write her out of public consciousness and the script. Did you notice how Ann was never in camera shot in the Tessylum? Anton was laughing at Ann standing in front of judges. It now looks as if Strictly PLC top brass want the joke contestant out, pronto.
This reminds me of the Soviet Union where prior to a purge a victim will become an un-person, sending a chilling signal to all supporters, beware.
