How can this vile man be in with a chance of winning. I feel sorry for Katie who is lovely. Yes, I know its The Sun, but this has been said by multiple other sources and people who "really" know him over the years. If he takes over from Len, his grinning gurning mug will kill the show instantly.

That article is laughable. Picking on remarks that Anton has made in humour and reporting them as serious fact! Like the one about Judy M and Pixie.

'Insiders', 'sources'.... Etc. Not one actual named person (including any runners from the past) who will back up these claims.

Typical shoddy 'journalism' (I cringe even applying that term to this kind of excrement) from the 'Scum', which rag I would not even use as toilet paper.

I am not a particular fan of Anton. I don't dislike him, though.

What I do dislike is this type of disgusting filth masquerading as a 'news story', trying to blacken the name of someone without one single shred of actual 'proof', just vague accusations and obvious sour grapes.

Another Anita 'fan' perchance ? I am actually starting to feel sorry for her, having all these morons coming out spewing venom on her behalf when all that happened was that she didn't reach the final of a Saturday night entertainment show which no one will care about in a couple of months.

I am only surprised that the piece didn't accuse him of eating puppies and beating these 'underlings' for fun. Because that:s the kind of pathetic road it's travelling.

You can spin anything if you take the source far enough out of context.

Given the number of similar threads lately, there does seem to be a spate of people very quick to believe all this negative tabloid trash about the show. If I were so predisposed to agree with the anti-Strictly agenda so blatant in particular sections of the media, I'd probably have stopped watching by now.

I know he was not so nice in his early days, but people change over the years. None of us actually believe all that is written in the press.

We all know Mr Beke is a wannabe comedian, imho the once unmissable Saturday night "entertainment show" is losing its credibility....time for a shake up methinks. The past two years I have just watched the dancing and cut out the inane drivel.

I've never understood why he's been kept on for so long and others dropped. I know it's The Sun but I can well believe a lot of this is true.

And of course this alleged incident (without any context of course):

Quote:
“This is a man who once allegedly sent an underling to search for a satsuma before imperiously making her peel it in front of him.”

Yet another Anti SCD article by The Sun on its anti BBC agenda, their really pulling anyone they can through the mud now.

There has been NO FIX at all this or any series, some are too gullible to tabloid press reports. Yes there are loyal supporters of each celebrity and their upset when they go. But this " proven untrue" fix claim is damaging the reputations of fine performers and will put off good celebrities performing next year, which is the tabloids intend to damage SCD and therefore damage the BBC, every thread opened on this subject here plays into the newspapers campaign, pity a few can't actually see that.

Do not buy THE SUN until it stops this nasty campaign.

What a nasty little article and no evidence printed to back it up. Typical Sun always 'a source close to the ...' or 'a friend' never the name of the source

Yes, The Sun ( owned by the very tarnished Murdoch group, who went to court fir hacking of phones, and owner of Sky), really have a hate campaign against SCD and the BBC,

Do not buy The Sun if you love SCD.

This.

Take the few little scraps they could find over many years and give them the worst possible spin, and then add some rather silly allegations with no sources.

Nasty little trash piece, should be seen for what it is.

Probably Anton was in the middle of doing something and casually said 'Could you peel it for me?

This is " The Sun " for you, make a massive article based on nothing st all, whatsoever.

Do not buy The Sun.

Yep, that's the tabloid press for you, especially the Sun.

The sad and annoying thing is that some people will believe it without question, especially those just looking for something to confirm their dislike of Anton.

Agree.

From the very tarnished Murdoch group, remember phone hacking!

So name the sources and people who "really" know him and state what they've actually said. If you don't, then you're just repeating the unfounded trash put out by certain tabloids and, if unproven, is ripe for legal action for libel. Newspapers are prepared for this to happen, but is an individual? Emily Fairbairn, the writer of this defamation has the Sun behind her to cover any legal costs, but I suspect Anton will ignore it rather than lower himself to her level.

There are many who have experienced the the opposite of what this article suggests such as the one whose mother is in her 80s and blind and wrote on the BBC board that she has wanted to dance with him but never thought she'd get the chance. She approached him when he was at a store opening and he willingly danced with her mother in the street. That's a nasty person?

So like the rest of us, Anton isn't exactly a saint - hold the front page

The Sun is fit one thing only: burning,

Despicable rag. The lies it told about the Hillsborough disaster forever taint it as the worst of British.

Yuk! It makes my skin crawl just to think about it.

The bullying of ordinary people caught in the phone hacking scandal was awful.

And as Holly has said - the Sun's lies over Hillsborough!

They can't bear it that the BBC gets viewing figures of 11+ million for the two Strictly shows - top figures for all the TV channels.
