Strictly’s Paul Merson hits out at show bosses as furious fans learn he’s landed another ‘joke’ dance
STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Paul Merson has lashed out at show bosses for giving him multiple ‘joke’ dances.
The former England player, 56, made a series of subtle digs about his routines when discussing his Strictly journey so far.

Last week, Paul was finally given a ballroom dance with his pro partner Karen Hauer and they achieved their highest score yet.
But they had previously performed to football anthem Vindaloo, danced around a fake barbecue to Pitball’s Fireball and ridden giant plastic horses.
However, within minutes of making his feelings known, it was revealed Paul and Karen are dancing a Salsa to the disco track Car Wash this weekend – and fans are not happy.
Paul was asked about his time on Strictly during Wednesday’s episode of spin-off show Strictly: It Takes Two.
Host Janette Manrara asked the Arsenal legend ‘what it meant to him’ to achieve his highest score yet with a ballroom quickstep.
Speaking via video link, Paul replied: “It was amazing just to get a nice dance.
“Obviously a barbecue and Vindaloo and Football’s Coming Home and looking like someone who works on a ship… yeah, it was nice to dance.
“I thought Karen deserved that as well, to be fair to her.”
In a second swipe, the dad-of-three continued: “I felt more comfortable. It was just nice.
“When I first took up the chance to come on the show, this was what I thought it would be roughly. Do you know what I mean?
“It was nice to get one of those dances in. Before, I just thought of Fred Astaire and I couldn’t see him dancing to Vindaloo.”
Janette asked him: “So you feel like you’ve got your proper whole Strictly experience under your belt now?”
But in a third swipe, he shot back: “Now it’s back to reality again this week.”
Even Karen appeared to echo Paul’s feelings, saying: “It’s what Strictly’s about. When you have your top hat, you have your beautiful glamorous dresses.
“This is what people tune in at times to see.”
It was then revealed Paul and Karen are dancing a Samba to the 1976 disco track Car Wash, by US soul and RnB band Rose Royce.
Having watched Paul’s interview, fans immediately shared their frustration at him being given another “joke” dance.
Strictly 2024 pairings
Here’s who is matched with who this series…
Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, one raged: “It makes me annoyed to see Paul & Karen talking about how much he loved being Fred Astaire during the quickstep and that’s what he always expected #strictly to be, not the silly stuff.
“And then this week they have a samba to Car Wash, back to being the joke again.”
A second added: “The whole vibe of this interview has been ‘ooh yeah it’s great doing proper ballroom’, I’m so cross they’re now making Paul do the samba.”
Another agreed: “He’s quite right….They need to stop all theses stupid dances they give to ex sports people.
“It’s embarrassing and never works properly. Paul’s dance was far better with the correct music and outfit.”
And someone else begged: “#Strictly Please listen to Paul and Karen! The expectation when signing up was to learn to dance, with all the associated elegance, not silly songs and silly themes.”

The ex-husband of Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Dina Manzo was sentenced to seven years in prison for hiring a reputed mobster to assault her then-boyfriend, David Cantin.
Thomas Manzo, 59, was sentenced on Tuesday (October 15) after being convicted in June of conspiracy, falsifying and concealing documents, and committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity. According to a press release issued by the US Attorney’s Office in the District of New Jersey, Manzo hired John Perna, “a soldier in the Lucchese Crime Family,” to commit the July 2015 attack, in which Cantin was beaten with a weapon.
Federal posecutors stated that Manzo, a co-owner of The Brownstone catering hall in Paterson, New Jersey, gifted Perna a free wedding reception in exchange for the assault. The Perna wedding was held in August 2015, one month after the attack. Four years later, Manzo concealed and falsified documents related to the Perna wedding in response to a grand jury subpoena, according to the press release.
“Whether you’re actually in the Mafia or not, hiring the mob to assault someone because of your marital problems is abhorrent. Covering up the role you played only makes it worse,” US Attorney Philip R. Sellinger said in a statement. “The jury’s verdict, and today’s sentence, make clear that this office will spare no resources to hold accountable anyone who commits such crimes.”
In addition to the seven-year prison sentence, Manzo will also have to serve three years of supervised release once he’s freed under the sentence imposed by US District Judge Susan Wigenton. Meanwhile, Perna pleaded guilty in December 2020 to committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity and received a two-and-a-half-year sentence. He was freed in August 2023.
Dina Manzo, now Dina Cantin, was an original cast member on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She appeared on the first two seasons of the reality show beginning in 2009. She made a brief cameo in season four, before returning as a full-time cast member for the sixth season. Dina departed the series in 2015 after relocating to California.
Dina and Thomas were married from 2007 to 2012. Their divorce was finalized in 2016.
She married David Cantin in 2017.

Walz caught lying twice about his trip to China, then burying his head into his notebook, taking notes about his stupidity, so ashamed.

Walz let Somalians run some areas of Minneapolis, and promote the Islamist Ilhan Omar.
