Strictly Come Dancing praised for first ever same-sex dance

Another fan said they were"so emotional" watching the routine, adding:"What a breakthrough championed by #StrictlyComeDancing."

One tweet said:"Well done Strictly for having same sex dancers dancing together..beautiful. Don't let it be a one off." Seeing two men dancing on Strictly was"utterly beautiful", said one fan, while another Twitter user posted:"Watching two male dancers dance together on #StrictlyComeDancing for the first time has made both me and my 9 year old daughter cry tears of joy."In an interview with Hello magazine, Radebe said he had"never felt so liberated".

"For the first time in my life, I feel accepted for who I am. That says so much about the people of this country.

It was an absolutely natural, beautiful dance !!

Light entertainment should stick to being just that, not a platform to influence viewers to toe the PC line. Don't watch it anyway, it's like watching Gladiators in sequins being thrown to the wolves.

not for me.... I prefer to see a man and a woman dancing on this show. .and I dont care what their sexuality is either way. .... just my opinion

Sickening

How do they pick who plays the woman’s part

Crap,get a grip.

We shouldn't be promoting unhealthy lifestyles as normal

Disgusting

Never watch it

No axe to grind here, just wondered why it's taken untill 19 years into the 21st century for the BBC to do this 🤔🤔

🤢🤢🤢

Are they both gay then? It was a good dance but personally I would prefer not to see this LBGT is being forced upon us to accept it every soap every program soon, seems we’ve become a to politically correct world where you can’t have an opinion without being vilified

I loved it

Its not the first time. Happened last year. The comments on here make a really good case to why same sex couples need to happen much more often. Wait till they hear about dancingonice

Praised, as viewing figures plummet. Let's scrap the licence and see how commercially successful their virtue signalling is.

Love stuff like this that could anger a homophobe.

Hilarious!

Was amazing ❤💙💛💜

Who cares?

oh ffs

Thanks for that, I’m going to have to record it now as OH says he’s not watching it again.

Boring hell , who cares?

Time to switch off (if you haven't already).

cool story bro

How twee.....very PC 🙄

But it's not the 1st same sex dance... Both Aj11Ace & gorkamarquez1 danced together last year... Such short term memories people have.

Obviously the beginning of the end of Strictly. Desperation by the producers to generate something controversial to revive a dieing format

It is a boring show! They should end it before they run out of celebrities

Sky news: *under breathe* take the bait come on take the bait

And all the homophobic sheep got their pants in a twist over it on Twitter.... 😁😴😴

Who cares?

There have always been male pro dancers who are gay, as there have been in Strictly, and they have always danced with women. Given the choice today they would still prefer to dance with women. And the vast majority of the public would prefer to see it that way.
