Strictly Come Dancing fans are expressing concern over the future of George Clarke on the show leading up to Halloween Week. The TikTok star has been assigned yet another challenging song to dance to, causing apprehension among his supporters. George has garnered a significant following on the show, with many tuning in specifically to watch his performances each week.
However, there is growing unease among some viewers due to a noticeable trend in the song choices for George’s dances. He has been consistently given songs that gained popularity on TikTok, leaning more towards lighthearted and humorous routines rather than serious performances, such as the track “Soda Pop” from K-Pop Demon Hunters.
For the upcoming Halloween Week, it has been revealed that George and his partner, Alexis Warr, will be performing a routine to the song “Apple” by Charli XCX, which became a sensation on TikTok last summer. This announcement sparked anxiety among his fans, who fear that the reliance on trendy TikTok songs may hinder his success on the show.
Some fans have raised questions about whether the show is deliberately putting George at a disadvantage. Concerns were voiced about the song choices, with one fan questioning if the producers were intentionally sabotaging George’s performances by selecting songs associated with TikTok trends rather than traditional dance numbers.
In response to the song selections, George himself has shown signs of frustration. Ahead of Movie Week, he shared a video on TikTok in which he appeared visibly dismayed while a particular song played in the background. Fans echoed his sentiments in the comments, expressing disappointment over the choice and its potential impact on their votes.
Recently, George posted another video revealing that he had to alter his appearance to resemble Harry Styles for Icons Week. In the video, he humorously pleaded with the audience not to judge his portrayal of the iconic singer, fearing a negative reception.
The Mirror reached out to the BBC for a comment on the matter.
