Aljaž Škorjanec's alleged altercation with a female dancer has divided the Strictly Come Dancing pros as it appears the incident has been 'brushed under the carpet' With the countdown on for the programme's glitzy launch this month, there appears to be unrest among the dancers as Aljaž's drama was brushed aside because it reportedly occurred on tour away from the main show 'The feeling backstage very much seems to be ‘what happens on tour, stays on tour’. The 34-year-old dancer's return to the BBC show has been marred by controversy as the cast and crew are reportedly furious he's back following the alleged backstage row with a female pro - who is said to be still on the show With the tour seen as separate from the main programme, there appears to be the mentality of: 'what happens on tour, stays on tour', according to The Sun, which is said to have left his furious fellow pros 'totally gutted' 'Amid ongoing furore around the behaviour of its male pros, they actively recruited a dancer who left under a cloud. Strictly Come Dancing's cast and crew are reportedly furious over the return of professional dancer Aljaž Škorjanec The Slovenian dancer is set to return to the BBC show for its new series, two years after an altercation on the 2022 live tour 'Execs would have to be living in a cave not to have heard the rumours', the source added. At the time, Aljaz reportedly agreed to exit the show after an alleged 'shocking' incident with a fellow female professional dancer on the nationwide tour Despite the show's controversial months, Aljaž - who was accused of upsetting show staff with 'aggressive and pompous behaviour' in 2022 - is set to return The return of the professional dancer, who is married to fellow Strictly pro and It Takes Two host Janette Manrara, is the latest drama to hit the BBC show, as several allegations of abuse from professionals have come to light.
