Does anyone else think that Ricky Whittle should'nt have danced tonight, after the alleged incident. I think he should have been made to leave.

[carlton23]

I think they put him the `dance off` so that they could vote off Natilie and Vincent because of his poorer first attempt, knowing that in the dance off he would do it better.

I don't think you can sack someone for an "alleged" incident. Innocent until proven guilty.

[saxy_jag]

As you say, it was 'alleged'. He's not been charged or tried and certainly not found guilty (at least, not by the law), so there's no reason for them to 'sack' him.

[marval]

I wonder if the incident had anything to do with him being in the bottom two.

[curlyperm11]

what was the 'incident'?

[malkyglesga]

Yes hes a big head and a thug he assaulted someone (alleged)

[pericat]

It was a photographer who alleged the assault and he refused treatment from medics at the scene but went to hospital afterwards for treatment. I am not a fan of Ricky Whittle and dont want him to win strictly but you could read between the lines here and come up with a few different stories - so I suppose innocent till proven guilty

[paisleylass]

And the photographer in question also accused Paul Gascoigne of assault a few years ago but later dropped the charges. This is either a very unlucky photographer or, more likely, one who deliberately provokes situations.
Ricky is not a big-headed thug and I think it is a shame if people didn't support him because of this incident.

[chazza]

The "assault" was a hit and run outside a club
