Dani Dyer and Delta Goodrem address claims that Strictly Come Dancing gives professional performers an “unfair advantage.” In their responses, both performers highlight the effort and training involved in learning the routines and preparing for the show.

The outlets also frame their comments around personal journeys to reach the dancefloor. Rather than suggesting talent alone determines outcomes, they point to the work required to meet the demands of the competition. The coverage emphasizes that criticism of a supposed natural edge is misplaced, given the time, practice, and challenges involved in adapting to the format.

While the two sources use largely overlapping wording and framing, they focus on the same dispute: whether professional performers or those with dance experience benefit unfairly. Both accounts present the performers’ replies as a rebuttal to such allegations, with attention on preparation rather than on any specific judging or incident during the series.
