Strictly Come Dancing bosses are reportedly furious after being left "blindsided" by AJ Pritchard's sudden decision to leave the show.
The 25-year-old professional's announcement came just weeks after fellow dancer Kevin Clifton revealed that he would be quitting the show.
Earlier this month, AJ had been included in the line-up of confirmed professionals set to take part in this year's series of the show.
So it will strike many as very odd that AJ has decided to quit after initially confirming his place in the line-up. He announced his decision to leave the show on social media, revealing that he wanted to focus on "becoming the next Ant and Dec" with his brother Curtis, who found fame on Love Island last year.
