I think it's much tougher for the women pro's than it is for the men - especially on a series with such a strong female audience - so, in a way, I'm surprised Katya is the only casualty ...”

Anton hams it up and plays a farcical character (demeaning his own profession in the process).
Ola wears next to nothing at times.
Kristina wears a ridiculous amount of drag queenish make-up.
Flavia swaps partners in more ways than one.
James and Brendan lose their temper at the drop of a hat, although Brendan hasn't been as bad in recent years.
Katya is refreshingly normal compared to most of them, but she wasn't as recognisable because of that.
