Strictly Come Dancing’s Danny John-Jules Maintains He Was A ‘Professional’ Throughout His Time On The Show

Taking to Twitter at the time, Danny said there was a “vendetta” against him in the British press, which he claimed was rooted in racism, and has once again spoken out about his time on Strictly in an interview with The Sun.

“With me and Amy, it was always professional,” he insisted. “I came in professional and I left professional.”

Explaining why he had been reluctant to share his side of the story, Danny continued: “I didn’t have to broadcast what happened. I didn’t want to wash anybody’s dirty laundry in public.

“I did everything truthfully and honestly and I wouldn’t do anything differently.

“I was expecting [the backlash] because people always talk crap about me. But I did exactly what I was hired to do and what I promised to do, which was to dance my arse off.”
