BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans already annoyed by star's 'habit'
Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts have started speculating about who might be the first celebrity to exit the competition. The BBC One audience has only witnessed one group dance from the new line-up of celebrities so far.
This month marked the launch episode of Strictly Come Dancing, following a series of controversies that have plagued the show in recent months. Celebrities such as Pete Wicks, Nick Knowles and Tasha Ghouri offered a glimpse of what viewers can anticipate for the 20th anniversary series.
However, one contestant seems to be already irking fans, even before the competition has officially begun. With a career spanning 40 years, Toyah Willcox was one of the biggest names to sign up for the long-standing primetime show.

Yet, some viewers have criticised the star for her constant name-dropping. On a recent episode of Richard Osman's House Of Games, 66 year old Toyah shared some of her most memorable showbiz stories.
She notably mentioned her memories of Princess Diana and another big star. Fellow musician Robert Fripp, who married the amateur dancer in 1986, has also had an extensive career in the music industry as a session musician and collaborator.
During the studio show, she also made sure to remind viewers that he had performed with the likes of the late David Bowie.
The singer had previously expressed her apprehensions about participating in the show before she was unveiled as one of the contestants.
Speaking to The Mirror, she admitted: "Oh, God yeah. Well, I'd have to do it sooner rather than later, because I'm not going to be able to move like that in two years' time."
"I do understand how hard they work. I'm friends with Angela Rippon and she was extraordinary."
She further added: "But they're rehearsing 10 hours a day every day. And then on Saturday, they do two shows."
