Zara said online in a lengthy comment: “AJ wouldn’t have had to critique you in the first place if everything had been right. “Dancing with Bailey last week showed how he danced with an amateur and their dance was amazing. This week was supposed to be different dancing with a pro…” She then continued to talk about the alleged concussion, adding: “What people didn’t see in rehearsals was that you injured him when you hit him in the head, leaving him with a slight concussion and needing to see a physio.” Most read in TV Zara concluded her post by saying AJ’s criticism “has always been constructive” and that she hopes Rylee was “able to take something positive and useful from his teaching and feedback.” AJ has previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing as well as Britain’s Got Talent. Meanwhile Rylee has been part of the DWTS world since 2018, when she participated in DWTS: Juniors. Comment now
