AJ Pritchard, a former professional dancer and former *Strictly Come Dancing* performer, makes his presenting debut on GB News and then faces criticism from viewers. Multiple outlets report that some audiences question whether he is suited to presenting rather than dancing.
The coverage places the reaction in the context of Pritchard’s public profile. He previously appeared on *Strictly* until leaving in 2019, and he has also taken part in other TV formats, including *Drag Race UK*. PinkNews specifically highlights that his earlier appearance on *Strictly* in a same-sex partnership is part of the wider discussion around his move into mainstream news presenting, while other reports focus more on the negative audience response to the new role.
