I totally agree with this and on that basis, I have always said if I had to choose one, I would bring back Gillian Taylforth who went out in Week 2. Firstly, they dressed her in some godawful yellow tent which did her zero favours. As for the dancing, she was okay but I feel that she was let down badly by a poorly choreographed (boring) Foxtrot routine by Anton. Additionally, Jessie Wallace was by far the worst that night and should have gone out first.
I can clearly remember Gill's exit interview on ITT in which she explained that she had danced on with a terrible knee injury. I'll never forget she was close to tears by the time the interview ended. You could just tell how gutted she was to have not got anything out of Strictly, hence why I would love to bring her back
