Anton Du Beke seems to be on the safer side and can continue his job as a judge on BBC Strictly Come Dancing show as rumored by the bosses of the show who axed Bruno Tonioli. Bruno was unable to take part judging panel of the last year's show due to Covid restrictions and was supported by Craig Revel Horwood by casting him on the Strictly live tour, but somehow Bruno was axed down from the show.
In fact, Anton Du Beke's performance won the show's bosses over, and they were quite satisfied with his performance, according to the source. His contract is said to be renewed as they decided to keep him in the show, and apparently, his salary was lower than Bruno's. The source also added that Bruno was a part of the show for more than a decade, and there was a huge affection for him on the show, and the decision to cut him down would obviously ruffle some feather, especially Craig.
However, a spokesperson for the BBC has declined to comment on the subject, and Bruno had talked about his absence on the show last year, saying that he was sad and frustrated and also poked fun at Anton, saying that he needed the money more. He added that he would be back if they wanted him, but he also said that Anton might replace him and they might not call him.
