STRICTLY Come Dancing star Ross King has revealed he’s quitting the UK after his BBC One show exit.

The Scottish broadcaster’s confession came after his Lorraine presenting partner and close pal Lorraine Kelly slammed the programme for having “too many trained dancers”.

Strictly viewers saw showbiz reporter Ross, 63, the second contestant to be booted out of the 2025 series following his Thunderbird Paso Doble routine on Movie Week.

He was joined by EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal, who had finished fourth from the bottom on Saturday with 26 points for her Foxtrot.

After both couples had danced a second time, the Strictly judges delivered their verdicts, with Craig, Motsi and Anton all choosing to save Balvinder.

Head Judge Shirley Ballas – who this week was the judge with the casting vote – said that she would also have chosen to save Balvinder and Julian, should she have been required to vote.

Just hours after the elimination, Ross appeared on Monday’s Lorraine and admitted he wouldn’t be tuning into the rest of the BBC from home turf.

Lorraine said: “So now you’ll be like us, just watching” to which he said: “I’ll be watching by the pool in La La land, I’ll be back there.”

Later in the show, he again confirmed “I’ll be off now’ – before confirming he would be back later in the year.

While Ross might be heading back to his Hollywood home with stunning girlfriend Bridget Siegel, 43, after his exit, he will be back in the UK soon.

He will star in panto in Southend in December, featuring alongside Rylan Clark, 36, in a production of Cinderella.

During the same chat, his fellow Scot Lorraine was quick to slam some of the show’s 2025 cast.

Staying loyal to her mate, Lorraine called out the likes of Amber Davies who have entered the show with previous dance and performance experience.

She said: “Can I just say, from my point of view, I think there’s too many trained dancers in it for me.
