Judge Bruno Tonioli Tells Strictly Come Dancing Pros To Stop Complaining
Apparently, the pros of “Strictly Come Dancing” in the UK want more money!!! Bruno Tonioli’s response is hilarious. Below is more from The Mirror….
Strictly’s Bruno Tonioli has told the show’s pro dancers to foxtrot off if they are unhappy with their pay.
The judge, 59, challenged them to quit, after some – including Brendan Cole – complained about their haul, which is thought to be about £30,000 a series.
Bruno admitted the money he got from Strictly was not “life changing” and that rivals ITV paid more.
But he said: “Those are the terms of the negotiations. If you don’t like it, stop moaning and f*** off.”
He added: “The BBC will never pay the kind of fees that ITV will pay. There are certain fees you won’t get at the BBC, as a dancer ITV always pays more than the BBC, that’s just the way it is.”
The star said: “Strictly has not made me a millionaire. I still live in the same apartment I bought in 1991, before Strictly. But I never moan. The BBC do a wonderful job.”

Thank you Bruno!! to be honest the SCD pros are not all that anyway, if you know me, & I am saying I think Tony is better, enough said, even though they have the likes of Tristan & a blonde called Trent, I worked for the BBC for over 10 years & believe you would never be rich!!
The strictly pros and their choreography’s boring and forgettable.
Barring few (Tristan Macmanus, Trent Whiddon, Kevin Clifton) rest are pretty average.
Not much creativity like of DWTS’s…i watched Strictly’s last season where Caroline and Pasha won ..but i wasn’t much impressed with ’em. Even this guy Brendan, he was so rude last season.
Only Kevin’s choreography with Frankie Bridge and Trent’s with Pixie Lott were fun to watch. Instead of Artem, i would’ve liked Kevin on DWTS.
Figures Brendan is involved in this……for Bruno to say it he must be pretty annoyed at this situation.
Brendan is all mouth no trousers, always has been always will be. Happy to mouth off to the press but will never actually take on the producers face to face because he’s secretly terrified of getting fired.
To be fair to Brendan, he’s quite vocally denied having ever “moaned about [his] SCD wages” on Twitter, saying if he wasn’t happy, he wouldn’t be there and calling it “a disgusting piece of journalism”. I guess MRDA, but the guy’s been there twelve years – he knows how the game works.
