Mollie King has been snubbed from the ‘Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour’.
The Saturdays singer was given the boot from the competition last weekend after she faced Gemma Atkinson in the dreaded dance off and lost but, although she didn’t quite make the final, fans were convinced that her successful stint on the show would mean that she’d automatically get a place on the tour alongside her partner AJ Pritchard next year.
However, fans were left devastated when they found out that the professional dancer had made the cut alongside Debbie McGee, Alexandra Burke, Joe McFadden and Gemma – the four finalist – as well as Davood Ghadami, but Mollie hadn’t.
Speaking to OK! Online, AJ said: "I’m going to be on the tour, but Mollie isn’t unfortunately. I believe I’m just going to be doing some dancing with my professional partner Chloe. ‘I’m really excited to be travelling the country, and performing in these fantastic areas."
And the 30-year-old beauty has sparked rumours she’s disappointed by the snub as she has been liking fans’ messages in which they’ve claimed they will complain to the BBC.
Meanwhile, AJ has admitted he’s devastated that he will no longer be dancing with Mollie because he’s thoroughly enjoyed working with her and is sure they’ll remain friends.
He said: "We will be friends for life, 100 per cent. She has been an amazing partner. We have so much fun in the training room, we don’t ever want that to end. I’ll definitely be heartbroken at the end of this because it’s such a fantastic year and it’s all going so well. I wouldn’t change a thing. We feel the same way and you’ll see that this week because she gives me a very heartfelt gift. It is something I will cherish."
The pair have sparked rumours they’re dating but both have played down the speculation.
