Remember veteran TV star Johnny Ball’s appearance on Strictly back in 2012?
You’d be forgiven if you didn’t, as he was voted off in the first round of the competition alongside partner Iveta Lukosuite.
But things could have turned out very differently, had Johnny stuck with his original partner, Aliona Vilani.
Unfortunately Aliona was forced to withdraw in the early stages with an ankle injury, leaving Johnny with his new professional.
All fairly straightforward – until Johnny Ball alleged earlier this month on Good Morning Britain that Aliona had falsified her injury to get out of dancing with him.
He told hosts: “Aliona supposedly broke her leg. She did not at all.”
Johnny then went on to say that rather than appear on the BBC dancing contest, Aliana “went to the south of France with her boyfriend” the weekend after.
