Question created by
Will John Sergeant be reinstated on Strictly Come Dancing due to popular demand?
Settled as No
Nope, he's really gone!
Background:
Former political journalist John Sergeant is pulling out of Strictly Come Dancing.
The 64-year-old has received strong support from the public despite constant criticism from the judges.
But will overwhelming public demand see him reinstated?
Sergeant said in a statement: "The trouble is that there is now a real danger that I might win the competition. Even for me that would be a joke too far."
Category Editor's note: This will settle on next week's show. If John doesn't come back, will settle as 'no'.
