SIR – John Sergeant wasn’t knocked out of Strictly Come Dancing. He sportingly resigned.

The judges had correctly given their opinions but the viewers kept John and everyone else in suspense for weeks.

It was obvious that more deserving dancers were being eliminated. The way things were going there seemed to be no end to John’s reign, which was absurd.

The rules need changing or amateurs should be more professionally vetted before a series starts.

However, John and his partner were very good entertainment and long may the show continue.

Didn’t he do well?

PHIL PEGLER, Worcester.
