  • Without a doubt Strictly's worst dancer ever.

  • Bring back John for the next series!

  • I agree - we don't bother watching it now. when John was dancing we used to get all the neighbours around, put some food on and open a few bottles of plonk. Like all the greats he his career ended early - like James Dean!

  • Hi. My name is john and i love watching this show. I think john sergeant was a great entertainer and i only have fond memories of him. I always smile when i think of him doing the Cha' Cha'. I lost my left leg in nam so don't get to dance or leave the house much. Maybe we should start a disabled strictly come dancing petition. John

  • john made strictly entertaining! now its crap.

  • come back John!

    STRICTLY IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU!

  • John would have had a good chance of winning the show. Now all we're left with is the contestants who take Strictly FAR too seriously.

  • Strictly come dancing is now a boring show. John actually made the show worth viewing. Pllus DONT VOTE FOR LISA SNOWDON she's trying to win using the radio 95.8 as her back up. Rachel stevens is teh obvious winner

  • The show is no longer the same without John the legend, bring back John I say as its up to the public if he goes. Because John such a decent man he wanted to give the other a chance and felt bad that he was doing so well. so resigned.

  • John, you were great!

  • People take this programme way too seriously. It's an entertainment show for charity. Get a grip everyone. Cherie Lunghi leaving the show is hardly the most tragic event of the year. James can put the blame on John all he wants but Cherie and him went out because the public didn't want them. John stayed in because the public wanted him to stay. It's not outrageous, it's not something to cry about, it's just strictly come dancing.

  • Whatever anyone says - us Brits have class - even when we do it badly, we still carry it off with a certain je ne sais quoi!

  • Using a French expression.. :)

  • Spot on.If the judges hadn't been so harsh then we may have seen the back of him a few weeks back although I have to say I'll miss Christina. I don't think there would be any point in continuing with this show if he'd made the final.

  • He was wonderful... he is a real gent. Viewing figures will plummet now.

    Judges, wake up... IT'S JUST A BIT OF FUN! Taking it so seriously is a little pathetic... it's just harmless entertainment, about 'bums on seats'.

  • Typical of this country to find entertainment in shit. By voting him in you were taking the mick out of him. I wonder if you were in Cherie Lunghis shoes last week you'd feel the same.

  • I agree. I'd feel bloody angry If i'd put all that work in and scored very well to lose out to john sargent. I feel that if the votes go like this the show may as well do away with the judges. John Sargent could have done the okey bloody kokey and still got through every week. It was nothing to do with entertainment. If it was Gary Rhodes and mark Foster would still be in. It was because people felt sorry for him because the judges had gone over the top with their comments on him.

  • A national nerve was tweaked. Nothing so criminally terrible in that.

    "Find entertainment in shit?" You know what, BigAussieDave22, I think you are probably right... after all, 'Neighbours' and 'Home and Away' have been running over here for FAR too long now.

  • cunt

  • He's a gentleman - and in the winter of 2008, he brought cheer to many. Bravo, John!

  • im really confused bout what happened to him. did he quit cus ppl were bein mean?

  • ITS ALL THE JUDGES FAULT CALLING HIM THE DANCING PIG!!!!! IF I WAS JOHN ID LEAVE ASWELL! AND THAT OLAS HUSBAND IS THE MEANS THING IN THE WORLD HOW DARE HE SAY THINGS ABOUT JOHN! sorry just had to do that ! Keep on dancing john ur the best!

  • wtf that fatasshole cant dance,, he´s only doin that to be close enough to that sexy girl

  • John leaving just goes to show how incredibly pretentious the show has gotten over the years. Maybe the judges should remember that the whole show is for CHARITY. The public have the right to vote for whoever they bloody want to! Licence payers money is funding the show in the first place!

  • you obviously take it too seriously. its meant to be entertaining thats why its on television in the first place you moron

  • cunt

  • your the moron you prick.

  • obviously you don't have nothing constructive to say back

  • ha ha but I still think John is the best entertainer in this crappy show

  • Chill you twat

  • cunt

  • I'm glad John's gone. I wish everyone would stop having a go at the judges, because the judges knew what they were talking about.

    I'm going to enjoy Strictly Come Dancing a lot more now. I can't wait until tonight.

    Austin and Erin to win!

  • you guys are so mean whoeva made this! hes tryin hes best i think he has a few weekd left so just leave him alone it's not like he doesnt try and don shoul'have stayed in so just stop being stupid!

  • I agree with those who say that it's about entertainment not who's the best dancer for chrissake. He was hugely entertaining and comically funny to watch that is why the public voted for him. He treated it all as a joke and the public were in on it. The only ones that weren't were the arsehole presenters and other competitors who took this whole silly format show seriously.

    You should take it on the road Trevor and bring your gorgeous partner with you. She's terrific too. She played her part.

  • is john gone?

  • best bit when john drag partner lol

  • such a shame he did make the show interesting. Another terrible example of the power of todays media

  • I can't beleive they forced him out, strictly was an entertainment show now it's just going to be boring, he lighted up the show

    then got mean comments even when cherie went out her partner *(can't remeber his name now) got in a stress saying "vote on the dancing", vote on the dancing my arse I'll vote on the enetertainment thanks

    I think I'll start watching x factor atleast there people won't be forced out for being funny

  • Sack Len Goodman and the rest of his vicious crew. The only decent thing about this snidy show is the dancing of the professionals which is brilliant, but even that doesn't overide the crappy presenters and judges.

  • I don't understand why he left, if the others were that good the public would have kept them in, I mean the BBC asked him to go on it in the first place. Doesn't make sense to me!

  • boooooooooooooooo BRING HIM BACK....

    he was pure entertainment

  • Poor John! I know he deserved to be out... but everyone is being so mean about it!

  • Well, wouldnt you leave if the press were slaging you off every day in the papers? To be honest i dont blame him. Let him do what he wants

  • thank god he gone !!!!!!

  • I hope the other dancers follow Sergeant's example......

  • The very compilation of this unecessary video shows the BBC's guilt over the matter quite clearly.

  • Come backkkkkkkkk

  • Like fuck John wanted to leave - the BBC forced him to go in order to stop their wanker judges from crying.

  • let the old 'uns have a chance.check out 'gypwin' for example on youtube or gentleman john

  • Need a sick bag BBC. Can you send one when I cancel my license fee subscription.

    This is the biggest dollop of bull I've ever seen.

  • The BBC should hang it's head in shame.

    John would of won.

    I hope Arlene Phillips is forced to leave. Calling someone a "dancing pig" is the language of the bully.

  • A few points:

    50% to the public, 50% to the judges. That is how it presently stands. But remember: people vote for the couple they consider the best to watch (the dance might be good quality, or good entertainment). By webly17s logic, the public should vote for the couple with the highest mark every week, as that would count as listening to the judges opinions on who the best couple is. That would be tedious.

  • John isnt a good dancer (being a dance competition, he should technically have been voted off), but people like to keep him in for the charm/fun of his dancing, and indeed personality. The opinions of the public and the judges are separate. The judges act as a guideline, and ideally, would be agreed with. But people enjoy a good show above all, and will vote in order to keep it a good show. This arguably renders the poor dancers as figures that exist merely to entertain.

  • However, some viewers wont exactly be thinking: ah, the footwork according to Len was poor I will therefore ignore my own positive impression of the dance. Or indeed I was underwhelmed by the dance, but Len said it was great I will therefore passively vote for it!

    That wont happen. Its as simple as that. If the views of the public were supposed to agree with the views of the judges, there wouldnt be much point having a public vote at all.

    I apologise for the length ;)

  • I know how you feel. I'm always having to apologise for my length too.

  • LoL Yeah, just like the black guy from Full Metal Jacket.

    As for John, if he wanted to stay he would have done, but he didn't really give a Monkey's, its him who shit on his own fans, not the BBC.

  • I also think that if John wanted to win that badly and loved it that much he would have stayed

  • fuck off.

  • OP)WNWNENENENENED

  • the fat fuck had to go the show is crap

  • you have only yourselves to blame.  you kept voting for him and keeping him in even though the judges said he was terrible. Just shows how much the judges opinion matters to you idiots.

  • what a wanker

  • nooo y did he hav 2 quit????

  • he was the entertainer on strictly ok he wasnt very good but it was funnny bad

  • Wtf is with all the weird comments on here?! Perspective, people?

    Goodbye John - many thanks for all you brought to the show; it was richer and more fun for you being part of it, and it's only a shame things had to end the way they did. All the best to you and Kristina, you were both brilliant!

  • Will he might come back and win it?

    Pigs might fly.

    They can certainly dance on their litle trotters.

  • Apparently John Sergeant used to have thing with Moira Stuart, he really loved her and they could have been partners on Come Dancing but he said that if he had danced with Moira he really would have "cum" dancing and made a mess on her dress.

  • She has such a hot body! 0:34

  • I love the show and thought John was fantastic, but what sort of world is it that this was the main story on the 6 o'clock news yesterday, and the sub news was about a young guy being murdered and about the little baby who got killed? I know the news should be a mix of good and bad, but this was not the most important event in Britain on that day.

    Oh well, no more strickly for me as whats the point watching and backing someone only for them to give up and quit.

  • PF2007AD C'mon, people are being murdered all the time in this country. John Sargeant left a dancing competition!!!

  • Anyone who gives a fuck about this story needs to be shot, These people are a waste of space. They need to get a life and stop wasting their lives on this bullshit. Try talking to other humans, take an interest in world affairs. Try feeling bad about the millions dying in Africa of starvation or the state of the Middle East.

    This Come Dancing shit is merely a deviation for those numbskulls who can't handle reality. Stop ignoring the real world you losers.

  • and er may i ask you what are you doin to help all those poor people out there.. are you a charity worker actually doin work?? do you even understand why they are suffering...

    yes there are problems but people should be able to relax after work n watch some pointless tv lol

  • Reality just is. How it's handled shows good or bad. Isnt judging what's good or bad for others arrogant? Does swearing & dictating to others how to live make you happy? Is condemnation or compassion the way to spread happiness?

    Would you deny a depressed person a chance to lift their spirits by watching something as beautiful as a dance by skilful spirited dancers - such as Kristina?

    Get real yourself. Give all your money to feed the starving if you like but remember to smell the roses too.

  • I will take this to the people, deeply locked in a worldwide religious political dilemma. Your mind is a world unique and accustomed to you alone, therefore you are a world within worlds, it is important that you retain your own individual personality.

  • From WhiteGanster69

    Spoken like a true man.They just spam your comments because they know it is either true or they are too stupid to comprehend it.I have seen many of your comments in many videos I watch.You seem like a very educated person.I don't see many people like you now a days.Plus you seem pretty religious.

    From Allakad:I am not in the man mortal dimension of religion Faith Belief need and want,they do what they do,say when they say it, you can not let heaven down only yourselves.

  • this made front page of the papers today,,,fuck me Im glad I binned my TV

  • If you could still vote for him,even though he's left,I still think he would win.I would vote for him and I've never seen the show. I haven't got a telly. He sounds like a really nice gent.

    Yeah he does look like Jo Brand :)

  • doesnt anyone think he looks like jo brand, exept male? i thought they were related:)

  • Yeah agree,but does Jo Brand look like a bloke

  • erm...aren't you talking from behind a keyboard as well?

  • he is sooooo cute! i didnt want him to leave :[

  • Meh, fucking 'straight' coward to you, knobjockey

  • arrrr bless him

  • Yawn, heard it all before gaylord. Best smother some butter on your arsehole for when you get tonight's bumming when out on on your faggy skateboard

    Jheezus christ

  • Ive seen better dancing at the blue oyster bar in police academy

    Q:whats white and wriggles about the floor?

    A:cum dancing hehe ;)

  • hehe

  • Lets face it he may of not been able to dance but he still got the votes. He got these votes because he was entertaining and if you are going to give a vote to the public you have to realise that it will be about entertainment not just about the dancing. I blame the judges as they did the rounds on day time TV but instead of just plugging the show they were so rude about John and the public. With that said if the judges want all 100% of the vote lets give it to them no one should vote or watch!!

  • i think strictly was always an entertainment show as well as dancin and john was the best at entertaining!

  • He looks so like a little teddy bear it makes me want to hug him!

    He would be the best Grandad ever.

  • FUCK THE BBC

  • OOh This is getting very heated!!!

  • that girl is hot :P

  • I will take this to the people, deeply locked in a worldwide religious political dilemma, your mind is a world unique and accustomed to you alone, therefore you are a world within worlds, it is important that you retain your own individual personality.

  • Shut the fuck up you fat cunt, John at least was entertaining. Do you like the pretty boys, fag?

  • Its an entertaining show for the whole family - whats wrong with all of You ? You dont take the show as such seriously - course not ! I did laugh and enjoy John pratting about - could not help but liking him - he would have gone soon anyways - so what ? The what is : lets enjoy the rest of the show ! Yeah ! Can't wait - lol lol - oh this is so much fun !

  • Who else thinks that John Sergeant is the male version of Jo Brand?

  • omg! lmao yea!!!

  • thank god i thought i was the only one

  • john was very entertaining 2 watch but every1 was being horrible 2 him so i can c y he went....=(

  • I have complained to the BBC and will boycott the show if John Sergeant isn't rightfully returned to the show.

    thanks

  • Sadly, Mr John Sargent already had a contract to give after-dinner speeches on a cruise that includes a trip through the Panama Canal within the week and, thus, won't be able to return to the show.

  • Yeah. He didn't actually expect to be in this far.

  • Is that true?

  • John Sargeant quits "Strictly". Today the Nation was plunged into mourning as wobble bottomed wit and raconteur John Sargeant dramatically pulled out of T.V. dancing extravaganza "Strictly Come Dancing". The government has decreed that there will be two days National remembrance and citizes should wear black clothing for the remainder of the year.

    In other news; A comet the size of Africa is heading for the earth. Should be here in about twenty minutes.

  • are we not ment to have a bit of fun

    , who the fuck made the bbc our moral guiders ? there not a bad bunch , but for fucks sake we sang in the undergrouds as we were bombed and always will , this is the kinda shit that saved the world , i'm proud of it !!!!

  • I heard that this show is being replaced with "Flyceleb", daytime T.V. presenters train for a week and then race against each other to single handedly deliver a 747 full of passengers from Heathrow to Moscow.

    Or "Soapgoalie", soap opera stars replace premiership goalkeepers for six weeks to see who conceeds least goals. How about "Banal Shit", ex Big Brother contestants engage in a pile of banal.....well, you know the rest.

  • So are we meant to take this show seriously now?

    Washed up celebs prancing around in glittery costumes is still kinda funny though.

  • so sad theyll be sadly missed, i loved this couple, :(

  • I cant believe all the ppl that are claiming that the judges bullied John out of this competition!! Its a rediculous statement - those judges were only doing the job they were hired to do- critique the celebrities dancing ability. Which is a vital part of the entertainment part of this show.

  • If John's left, it's only fair the bullying judges go!

  • they couldn't expect him to carry on with that colostomy bag

  • this has happened to almost every british tv channel its called the new PC world ;)

    Dont say too much or you will be cast out like the rest, these days we cant say anything to do with "our own opinion"

  • They need to get rid of those snot nose judges. John Sergeant was the only reason I watched that show.

  • lol that the same with me :P

    now he has gone the show has no humor :[

  • I strongly believe the BBC have shot themselves in the foot.

    Sergeant-gate was the last thing they needed.

    He would of won by a landslide.

  • WONT BE THE SAME NOW !!!

  • Let's stop voting then... SO NO DINERO to pay for the HOO -GEES (judges!!) And that's what I call: FAAH BUH LOOOS!!

  • You're all wrong. It's not about fun and entertainment. It's about precious, priggish,thin-lipped, humourless prima-donna judges (and some dancers) who became a little sore, like all highly strung "artistic" pretenders do, that their authority was being diluted. The public were challenging their professional stuffiness and that's why the personal insults toward John started. They are a thin skinned bunch of 'luvee'sulks.

  • Disappointed that John quit. At the end of the day this is an entertainment show BUT it is also a dancing show. There have been many celebs who were not such good dancers BUT they stayed and entertained. At the end of the day it has always been the best dancer who has won. The judges are there to judge as they see and lets face it the man cannot dance BUT the public have their say too. He should have continued to entertain like other celebs in his position have done. Disappointed

  • This is patently ridiculous.

  • at the end of the day it's about having fun and making money for charity

  • This is a joke its an entertainment show & John was one of the few (if not the only one) who was entertaining.I`m not watching Strictly for the rest of the series, & X-Factor sucks too so i`m screwed for saturday night TV-maybe i`ll just read a bookk or something.

  • Misslucy is right. John's judgement is good, he knew it was just about to get nasty and it was a diplomatic thing to do. It's only entertainment anyway, not real life!

  • who cares about complaining- lets just not watch anymore - that will be the only notice they will take

  • Hello please complain to the BBC about this. Disgusting what happened to John Sargeant.....

    BBC Complaints Make a complaint everyone

    They need 2000 complaints and he will come back

    JUST TYPE "BBC Complaints" in Google and make you voice heard

    Thank you all

  • not another stupid petition for god sake,and lets get rid of offcom and all those sad gits that keep complaining over nothing!!

  • Hello please complain to the BBC about this. Disgusting what happened to John Sargeant.....

    BBC Complaints Make a complaint everyone

    They need 2000 complaints and he will come back

    JUST TYPE "BBC Complaints" in Google and make you voice heard

    Thank you all

  • there was no reason to quit!!

  • John Sergeant how dare u quit!!! Who on earth is gonna be interesting on the show now!?

  • Thank god he went!

    but bless him he tried hard:-)

  • Arlene: I hate you! Keep your comments for yourself and your family. John is not a pig, he's just an ordinary English man learning to dance. At least he tried his best; my late British husband lived in South America, he loved the music, the people and the environment but he never, ever moved one single foot or his hips for fear to look silly. Give some credit to John and apologise for your nasty comments!

  • So she's not entitled to her opinion? She is there to say what she thinks of the performances, not say "well done that was marvellous" to every contestant regardless of dancing quality, otherwise there would be no need for the judges.

  • how upsetting to see john quit the show, he is a charming man and kristina is so beautiful,the general public fell in love with them..............

  • I'm gonna miss u John seriously this video almost made me cry it just ssssssooooo sad!!!!!!!!!!!

  • John sergeant was not bullied the judges had to give their honest opinion, its not their fault he was rubbish

    people who voted for john didnt care about dancing which is what the shows all about

    if you watch to watch entertaining rubbish then watch the x factor

    john was driven to leave by the selfish people who kept for voting for him just because they wanted to ruin the show

    they didnt care about him they just wanted to see him humiliate himself.

    if anyone bullied john it was the public.

  • John im soooo sad youve gone you were a joy to watch

    KRISTINA WAW WAW WAW not only BEAUTIFUL BUT THE MOST AMAZING DANCER IVE EVA EVA SEEEEEEN !!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE COME BACK !!!!!

  • What do you expect ? Praise in recognition of a remarkable effort ? Admiration for having the confidence to compete ? Gratitude to both of them for being charming and entertaining ? NO...Nothing of the sort...because this is England contaminated with the English disease of envy, malice and any excuse to rubbish anything or anyone at any opportunity.

  • Love u John - u rock!

  • good i think he should of left sorry john but u did

    reason's:

    1. You Dint Dance Very Well

    2. You Got All Your Mates To Vote For You

    For them 2 reasons im sorry but he should of left and now hes gone life is good :D

  • What a cheek to people who kept him in with their money.

  • Well done Johnny, you are the only winner. Watch the ratings sink like a lead baloon, the only thing left to watch!

    Maybe the judges will sink with it.

  • i think ppl have to remember that it is an ENTERTAINMENT show

    not just compitition and he brought fun to the show :D

  • Well said Cookieanddough, my feelings also, it's an entertainment show, the BBC are suppose to be entertaining.

  • Ok, it's official. NO reason to watch Stirctly anymore. Like ever!

  • im a guy who hates strictly but i love john he rocked the floor

  • anyone complained 2 the bbc over the bullying or just me?

  • arlene phillips needs to stop talkin WEIRd in a LOUD And then quitER VOICE BUT THEN LOUDER AGAIN WITH HOT AIR COMING OUT.....or cum

    agree he was nevertheless BULLIED....is it like this in the dance schools? very bad reflection

    the bland one will win it...well needs 2 to giv the show the rite publicity

    scores please 69 for bruno and the other mincer type an 666 for arlene

  • Christine to win!!!

  • He should have stayed in, its up to the public to decide who goes so he should have stayed ... it is a REALITY t.v show after all i <3 u John ... please come back xxx

  • He added the comedy and that fit Russian partner of his, brightened up a Saturday evening, they turned a normally boring programme into something worth watching, through the pure entertainment value John bought to the programme.

  • Faretheewell John. His timing was probably the best in the series.

  • I luved the entertainment value of John, esp his stroppy teddy performance dragging his partner across the floor, as one of the kiddies said. I guess it was hard on the others, but again I ask the producers why they invite those type of people on the show in the first place??? Tom is my fav - I've only just decided that, I luv his attitude and he can salsa up a storm. John can leave with his pride...lol and his dance partner is amazing.

  • Yeah, he walked.

  • did he go then coz he wasnt voted off

  • He pulled out because he was "in danger of winning" if he kept going through on the public's votes.

  • poor john!

  • I'm sorry John has gone, he was so elegant, he put the others to shame. The others always seem to me to be dancing acrobats!

  • Has he gone now then ? coz he didnt get voted off
