So according to The Sun......she was advised not to dance by her doctors:
Anastacia said: "I danced on Saturday even though the doctor had advised me to rest after I ripped the scar tissue around where I had my double mastectomy. "After that I was unable to dance again and I was devastated that I couldn't take part in the dance off. "I am so very sad to see Melvin and Janette go, they are the most the most wonderful pair and I will miss Melvin's unique spirit and beautiful smile." So she could have had a bye and Melvin and another couple (Naga, most probs) would have DO. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...orm-dance-off/ |

Diva? She tore her scar tissue. Behave.
![]() Yes, diva because she acted against her doctor's advice and then allegedly manipulated the situation to avoid having to compete in the dance off. Diva because she refuses to face the consequences of her own choices and expects others (the producers) to accommodate her at the expense of others (Melvin and Janette). |

If you think that she will get the sympathy vote, then you have missed the reactions on social media completely.

How can anyone sit and moan about a breast cancer survivor not wanting to rupture her scars?! Take a long hard look at yourselves!

It does seem strange, when you put it like that. Two couples were in the dance-off. One said they couldn't dance and so they are declared the winner? How does that work?
Anastasia wasn't declared the winner because she couldn't dance. Melvin was eliminated because the dance off was cancelled and when that happens the celeb with the lower public vote gets eliminated (by the rules seemingly). |

After Hillsborough how can anyone trust a word that filthy rag (The Sun) says?

Yes she should have taken a bye on Saturday night and not danced at all. Then we could have still had a legitimate dance off with whoever ended up in the bottom two.

That is a very interesting point. I cannot imagine the Health and Safety people at the Beeb would have let her anywhere near a dance floor if her doctor had advised against it.
Two of us have already suggested that the BBC are so desperate to have "big names" in their line-up (very hard to find them these days) that they may have accepted her or her doctor's word that she was fit enough to compete. Rather than have an independent assessment done having pre-knowledge that she'd had a double mastectomy. This is very surprising after the "scare" with Jimmy Tarbuck. But that was ten years and probably a few producers ago. Ratings are the driving force and could have clouded judgement on this occasion. |

Some people decide to go that extra mile for personal reasons, had she known how painful it would be I am sure she wouldn't have. The doctor told me not to drink on antibiotics but hell I did anyway! Fact is I doubt Melvin would have lasted as nice as he is whereas she does have way more charisma so on a selfish level I am happy to see her dance again if she can. BTW there is another report that she was told she must not do the dance off. That is in reality probably as true as The Mirrors version. But there we go. |

Didn't she have her surgery a couple of years ago? I would have thought by now her scarring should have healed.

The BBC may have a problem on their hands. Just took a look at the message board on the SCD site and there is a positive torrent of disagreement about the decision. I also think Anastacia has done herself no good at all and the viewers will exact revenge next week. She should have stood down graciously. Either way, from her PR perspective, she would be wise to retire.

That doesn't matter, he was enjoying himself and should have the same respect as a competitor. After all Anastacia is also not that great. In fact I don't think she has as much potential even. And she'll probably have to withdraw anyway - and should have done already rather than let Melvin get shafted. It's not his fault she's injured. |

I don't think it's fair or decent to excuse Anastacia on the grounds that Melvin wouldn't win anyway.

And she'll probably have to withdraw anyway - and should have done already rather than let Melvin get shafted. It's not his fault she's injured. It isn't disrespectful to not bow out, she has every right to wish to remain as much as anyone and possibly didn't do the dance off on orders. I am sure she didn't think her injury would hurt to that level prior to dancing, who would? And actually using the public vote is the fairest of all, hardly a shafting. |

I have to disagree because I found her far more watchable on the dance floor despite her poor technique.

I am sure she didn't think her injury would hurt to that level prior to dancing, who would? And actually using the public vote is the fairest of all, hardly a shafting. If she couldn't dance she should have withdrawn. That would have been the sensible, adult and fair decision. Everyone faces the dance off, she's not too special for that - so all that 'the public decided' makes no odds to me. If she's that torn, she shouldn't be dancing at all and she needs to recognise that, not be 'brave' at other's expense. |

Graceless? You have no idea, nor do I, whether it was graceless or not. It wasn't unfair either.

Interestingly (to me), I used to add an 'IMO' to posts and then realised, well of course, it's my opinion only as I'm writing the damn thing! |
