STRICTLY bosses snubbed an offer to have John Sergeant on the Christmas special.
The fans’ favourite, 64, who quit in a row about his talent, will return for the series finale.
But journo John’s offer to appear on the festive show with partner Kristina Rihanoff went down like a lead balloon with producers still fuming over his exit.
They claimed they would not change the format — which sees three former champions dance against the final three current contestants. But they are letting Kelly Brook dance — despite her quitting last year after her dad died.
A BBC source said: “The only way a contestant from this series can be involved in the Christmas special is if they make it to the last three couples. We have already got our line-up sorted.”

With all the fuss about John Sergeant leaving (about time) can anybody explain how he could have been lecturing on a cruise at the same time as taking part in SCD. Very fast commuter flights perhaps.
Because the cruise on which I believe he is giving a talk was already booked as he didn’t expect to last that long!
