Professional Strictly dancers slammed for performing in fat suits

Two new Strictly Come Dancing professionals have defended a dance routine after they were criticised for performing in fat suits. Video has emerged of married couple Neil and Katya Jones, two of the professionals unveiled last month for the hit BBC1 ballroom dancing show, in the oversized outfits. The pair's routine won them second place at the Professional Latin World Showdance Championship but viewers of the video called their performance 'insensitive' and 'offensive' and 'not entertaining or funny'.
