    Strictly Come Dancing fans were left feeling gutted for pro dancer Neil Jones after they claimed bosses \u201ctook a second swipe\u201d at him.<\/p>\n

    The glitzy BBC One show was back for another instalment on Sunday night (October 8) for the second results show of the series. And for one couple – their Strictly journey was over.<\/p>\n

    At the start of the programme, viewers were treated to an epic Barbie performance. All of the pro dancers transformed into Barbie and Kens. <\/p>\n

    But it seems the bosses\u2019 decision to cast Neil as Alan didn\u2019t go down too well. Especially after claimed he was \u201csnubbed\u201d from a celebrity partner in this year\u2019s series.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Over on X, one viewer penned: \u201cI really feel like they\u2019re just taking the p*ss out of Neil at this point\u2026\u201d Someone else added: \u201cNeil as Allan feels like bullying in the workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

    While others loved Neil\u2019s casting as Alan. Another fan penned: \u201cNeil as Allan kinda stole the show in the Barbie pro dance.\u201d Echoing their thoughts, someone else said: \u201cOutstanding opening dance. Only Neil could have played Alan.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    It comes after fans were left fuming over Neil getting \u201csnubbed\u201d from the show. The popular pro dancer hasn't been given a celebrity partner for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n

    Neil has been on Strictly since 2014 and has been on screen every year since. However, he\u2019s only been part of the main line-up twice.<\/p>\n

    He competed with former England Lionesses star turned TV host, Alex Scott, in 2019. Then in 2021, he was partnered alongside actress Nina Wadia.<\/p>\n
