BBC have decided not to renew Brendan Cole's contract on Strictly. People on Twitter, Facebook etc., are infuriated by this news. Please sign the petition to get the BBC to re-consider Brendan's contract and reinstate him.
Brendon has been with Strictly since the beginning and is one of the most talented dancers. He has a HUGE fan base and is one of the most popular dancers on the programme. Far too many changes have taken place over the past couple of series BUT this plan is by far the worst decision anyone could have come up with?
The fans keep this programme at the top and that includes fans of Brendan Cole. You would NOT have won your NTV awards without the fans votes and its high time...THIS time...you listened to those fans.

Reaching this level of support has been a long and exhausting process but seeing so many of you rally behind this cause keeps me going. It is clear that the decision to remove Brendan has struck a deep nerve with all of us who care about the show. I am tired but I am not stopping until the BBC acknowledges how much he is missed.

I think Brendan is the heart of strictly as other dancers come and go. He still had the same enthusiasm as he had at the beginn8ng and has amazing energy while dancing.
Brendan and Anton are the only original pro dancers left on Strictly and they are the ones the public love most. The BBC’s policy of bringing in younger and younger dancers every year is making it anodyne and unexciting. Having a ‘bad boy’ like Brendan is at least a foil to the blandness of AJ and Neil etc.
Big mistake BBC. As I have already said, whoever is wielding the axe is destroying the show, makes me wonder if Anton will be next? Brendan is great, was loyal to the show and typically how Beeb repay that loyalty! The only way I feel to show our disgust is for fans to switch off!
Strictly should not be getting rid of those with a personality (he has always defended his celebrity partners, quite rightly. He spoke out to Shirley Ballas and now he's not wanted? It's the judging you need to be looking at not the pro dancers.
Brendan deserves better. He invested 15 years of his life to the BBC. Each of us are entitled to our opinion. Give him a new contract immediately.
Brendan Cole has always been a very important part of Strickly. His personality and passion for the show has always shone through. The decision needs to be overturned.
Brendan is the best x

Brendan brought amazing artistry & talent to the show. He's given his heart & soul since the first series and deserves better . Shirley treated him & his partner differently to other couples.
