Angela Rippon made it all the way to Blackpool in her Strictly Come Dancing journey with partner Kai Widdrington. However, despite impressing viewers with her youthful energy and skills in the Ballroom, the legendary BBC journalist faced more than her fair share of backlash in the competition, and she has now addressed the controversy.<\/p>\n

The Rip Off Britain host sailed through two dance-offs before she lost out to Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell in the legendary Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Unfortunately for the 79-year-old TV star, some Strictly viewers were incensed that she had knocked out fan favourite Krishnan Guru-Murthy and prior to that, Adam Thomas, despite making some \u201cmistakes\u201d in her performances.<\/p>\n

Speaking out on the backlash, Angela admitted in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk that although it was \u201chard\u201d to face off against her friends for a place in the competition, she was fully aware of how the programme works. The former Come Dancing presenter candidly said: \u201cYou know, it\u2019s an entertainment programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the thing is, I think there were 15 of us that started out, but only three people are going to be in the final, and only one is going to win. So you know that along the way, people are going to be eliminated, and you know that before you start – so that is something that happens in the programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know that along the way, you’ll lose people – if it\u2019s 15 people, 12 people are going to have to go. You just know that along the way each week someone is going to have to be eliminated. And you just have to prepare yourself for that and accept it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seeming unfazed by the criticism, Angela acknowledged that viewers will be passionately backing their favourites to make it through each week.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cAnd, obviously, if you’re a viewer, you want your favourite to stay in, but only one person is going to lift that Glitterball out of all the ones that started.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo everyone else has had to go through that awful moment of standing under the red light and being told, \u2018Yes, you have to be in the dance-off\u2019, and then listen to the judges as they decide which one it\u2019s going to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part of what you do as part of the programme, and I think as the pool gets smaller, you prepare yourself for the fact that this week – it could be you.<\/p>\n
