The Saturday night BBC show, which stars Cheryl, Oti Mabuse, Todrick Hall, Curtis Pritchard and Matthew Morrison as dance captains and is hosted by Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo, has its future hanging in the balance apparently.

The final, which saw Oti’s act Michael and Jowita crowned champions, was down in the ratings by one million clocking up 2.8 million viewers and was beaten by medical drama Casualty.

Insiders say the show’s captains and presenters have been told not to expect future work on the show but BBC bosses will make their final decision on Monday.

A show source told The Sun: “Crew were warned weeks ago that it looked like there might not be a show next year so were told to look at alternative work for this time next year.
