BBC Changes Stance Over Strictly Come Dancing Same-Sex Couples

The BBC has revealed that it has changed its stance on featuring same-sex pairings on Strictly Come Dancing.

In the last few years, a lot of Strictly viewers have been calling for the hit show to begin featuring couples compiled of two men or two women.

However, ahead of the series in both 2017 and 2018 – which featured LGBTQ contestants including Richard Coleman, Susan Calman and Dr Ranj Singh – the BBC insisted they had “no plans” to break from what they described as the “longstanding ballroom dancing format of mixed-sex couples”.

It seems they’ve had a bit of a change of heart, though.
