15 year old in DWTS

Dancing with the stars has a 15 year old - Hayes Grier and also a 17 year old - Bindi Irwin as contestants.

Do you think that is too young? Children who are much younger than that do ball room and latin but do you think it would be acceptable to the UK public to have celebs of that age on Strictly?

I hate it. They've had quite a few young lads on (though not this young) and they never seem to have the maturity to present the emotion of the dance (and their limbs are like spaghetti ). The girls are a bit better (there was a fourteen year old last season) but everyone has to pussyfoot around the 'appropriateness' of the routines and the costumes and be careful what they say. It doesn't mean they can't be good and some of them have shone, but I'd still rather watch grown-ups.

A 15 year old doing a rhumba with a dancer twice her age? Eh... no thanks.

There's quite a lot of saucy humor on Strictly and whilst a 15 year old can usually deal with it I wouldn't want to see them try to deal with it on national television.

It bugs me as they keep going on about how he is a kid but not to take that into consideration yet they send him out dancing to Teenage Mutant Ninja bloody Turtles
