Strictly Come Dancing has become embroiled in a fresh 'fix' row as it's claimed nine of the celebrities have past dance experience.

Throughout the years, the BBC dancing show has come under fire for signing up stars who have some form of dancing or performance history, and it appears that this year is no different if new reports are to go by.

The Sun reports that with nine out of the 15 celebrities having past experience, 60 per cent of the cast will have an advantage over their fellow competitors.

Among those who have dance or performing arts experience, Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb was a former pupil at The Dance School of Scotland for two years.

He then went on to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama before making appearances in the West End.
