Strictly It Takes Two halted as Janette Manrara issues | UK News

Strictly – It Takes Two got here to a sudden halt as Janette Manrara addressed show backlash. During Tuesday’s (November 18) episode of the BBC programme, viewers rushed to complain after discovering the show isn’t filmed live, despite having long believed it was. They made the invention when host Fleur East started discussing what La Voix and Aljaž Škorjanec could be performing at Blackpool, despite earlier experiences confirming that the drag queen had been compelled to pull out of Saturday’s show due to injury.

Opening tonight’s version of It Takes Two, Janette interrupted the programme to guarantee viewers they had been live. The BBC host said: “We are live on BBC Two and iPlayer. Yes, I promise you we are live. Some loyal fans spotted we weren’t live last night but Tuesday’s are always pre-recorded on a Monday.” The former Strictly professional swiftly moved on, explaining what was coming up on the show. 

Several followers had been left baffled after Tuesday’s programme, having believed every episode was filmed live.

Taking to X to voice their confusion, one wrote: “Wow, well that’s news to me!!! I will never be able to watch it in the same way again.”

Another fumed: “Erm thought #ItTakesTwo was live??? The La Voix news broke 3 hrs ago!!??? Typical #BBC.”

A 3rd said: “They specifically say that #ItTakesTwo is live, but they just had to put a message on screen with the fact that La Voix isn’t dancing, so they clearly aren’t live when that was hours ago?! #Strictly.”

While most It Takes Two episodes are broadcast live from Elstree Studios, the Tuesday version is pre-recorded on Monday, shortly after that night’s live show has aired.

La Voix and Aljaž had been due to carry out the Samba at Blackpool Tower Ballroom this weekend, but have been given a bye to the next week as medical doctors have ordered the 45-year-old to relaxation.

Speaking on It Takes Two, La Voix – real identify Chris Dennis issued a health update, saying: “This has been ongoing since the foxtrot. I felt a little niggle in my foot hence comments about me being flat-footed. I was thinking this will be fine, but it got gradually worse…

“Until on Saturday we had to change footwear, I couldn’t put on heels. I had to put on those terrible flat footwear. We tried on Monday and it was actually clear I used to be struggling in pain so we determined to be skilled and call this, hoping with some relaxation I will be back.”
