The NTAs, or National Television Awards, are a significant event in the UK TV industry. However, the popular show “Strictly Come Dancing” will not have its stars in attendance at tonight’s ceremony. This decision comes after a recent incident involving contestant Thomas Skinner, who made headlines by leaving a press event in frustration.
Skinner’s abrupt departure from the official press launch of “Strictly” stirred controversy, with fans expressing concerns over his political views being highlighted on the show. Despite speculations about his future on the program, insiders suggest that the BBC intends to retain him.
The absence of “Strictly” stars at the NTAs is not related to Skinner’s actions but rather due to scheduling conflicts. The show’s hosts and judges will be busy filming the launch episode, which will be pre-recorded and aired later this month.
Shirley Ballas hinted at changes in this year’s competition during an appearance on The One Show. The NTAs, hosted by Joel Dommett, will still feature “Strictly Come Dancing” as the show has received nominations in multiple categories.
Additionally, Claudia Winkleman has earned a nomination for best presenter for her work on “The Traitors,” while professional dancer Amy Dowden is recognized for her documentary on battling breast cancer. Both are among the notable figures nominated for awards at the event.
