«Breaking News» Strictly Come Dancing: Anton Du Beke continues to insist he is not quitting

Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke has insisted that he is not quitting the show, after reports circulated that he 'wouldn't be back next series.'

The 51-year-old veteran dancer cleared up the rumours surrounding his state on the show during an appearance on Wednesday's Loose Women, alongside his celebrity dance partner Susannah Constantine.

His appearance came after a source told MailOnline that Anton was 'unhappy' with his time on the show after repeatedly being paired with the 'joke act' of the series, but he later took to Twitter to fiercely deny the claims.

Not going anywhere: Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke has insisted that he is not quitting the show, after reports circulated that he 'wouldn't be back next series'

During his appearance Anton appeared alongside his celebrity partner Susannah after the pair made an early exit from the show on Sunday night.

Quashing rumours of an exit, Anton did admit he had 'a bit of a mope' backstage after being voted off, but added that he has no plans to leave.

He said: 'There's no truth [to the quitting rumours]. I had a bit of a mope... I was very disappointed.'

Not true: Appearing on Wednesday's Loose Women, the 51-year-old dancer professed that he had no plans to leave show, following reports to that effect

Slamming it: He said: 'There's no truth [to the quitting rumours]. I had a bit of a mope... I was very disappointed'

Quashing: The 'King Of Ballroom' further insisted he wasn't quitting in an entry for his blog, writing: 'It was widely reported that I was quitting Strictly. What rubbish!'

The 'King Of Ballroom' further insisted he wasn't quitting in an entry for his blog, writing: 'It was widely reported that I was quitting Strictly. What rubbish! 

'I even had to make a public announcement on my Twitter to that effect, which Gabby Logan turned into a bit of 'a thing' on twitter: 'Anton Du Bekxit'. I roared, you can imagine!

'Believe you me, I'll be back every year whether they want me or not… and one day I'll make it all the way to the Grand Final and lift that Glitterball aloft! The king of ballroom has spoken!' 

Lovely: Anton appeared on the show with his celebrity dance partner Susannah Constantine, who also confessed she broke down in tears after being eliminated

Sweet: She said: 'But I watched Anton's face and how disappointed you looked. That is the time I really cried because I felt I let him down so badly'

On Loose Women Susannah went onto add that she also struggled to hold back the tears after being voted off the show, as she confessed she felt like she had let Anton down.

She said: 'I saved it until when I got back to the hotel. I was very close to tears. When I watched it back, you'd think the professionals would be immune to this as its part of their job.

'But I watched Anton's face and how disappointed you looked. That is the time I really cried because I felt I let him down so badly.'

Going? This comes after a source told MailOnline that Anton was planning to quit the show after 14 years, saying he 'won't be back next series' 

All over? He and his dance partner were the first pair to be eliminated from the series on Sunday night - Anton has been a part of the show since it began in 2004 but has never won 

This comes after reports circulated saying that Anton was considering quitting the BBC favourite after 14 years, with sources telling MailOnline he 'wouldn't be back next series.'

The source said: 'That was Anton's last Strictly. Anton is really unhappy as he feels like he gets the joke acts or the ones who can't dance at all.' 

'He was lucky last year, getting Ruth Langsford, as the public love her and she is popular. It's time to hang up his dance shoes.' 

Some time later, Anton himself took to Twitter to say there was no way he is leaving. 

He wrote: 'My loves, some people are reporting I'm quitting the show. Absolute rubbish! I'm NEVER quitting. 

Not going anywhere: Anton had this to say some time after the rumours came out 

'Whether they want me or not, I'm never going! Love you all and love #BBCStrictly.' 

Anton has never won the show and has previously been partnered with Ann Widdecombe and Kate Garraway.

A spokesperson for Strictly told MailOnline: 'We never comment on contractual matters but Anton will be kept very busy for the rest of the series in our group performances.

Time for change? Anton has reportedly tired of his joke acts, he was famously paired with Ann Widdecombe back in 2010 who struggled with her moves 

Moving on? In 2007, Anton was also partnered with Kate Garraway who really struggled with her moves 

'We also have our Christmas special so his fans will be seeing plenty more of him.' 

On Monday morning, former Strictly professional, Brendan Cole, took a dig at Anton, 52,  after he was the first to be booted from the BBC series on Saturday alongside Susannah, 56.

The ballroom dancer, 42, admitted that despite being surprised they were booted, Anton's dance 'wasn't very good' and he 'felt sorry' for Susannah as 'she didn't know what was going on.'

He said: 'I was a little bit surprised. Having said that, it wasn't very good. I felt really sorry for her, it just felt like she didn't really know what was going on.'

It's also been reported that Susannah had a tantrum behind the scenes after the show ended. 

Susannah and Anton performed a foxtrot to They Can't Take That Away From Me by Frank Sinatra and only secured a one from Craig and fours from the other judges on Saturday night. 

Brendan admitted on the morning talk show that he was surprised Anton didn't challenge judge Bruno Tonioli's criticism: 'Even Saturday, I'm so surprised he didn't have a go at Bruno for laughing at his partner. I would have been furious!'

Opinionated: Appearing on Monday's episode of Lorraine, Brendan Cole, 42, made a sly dig at Anton after he was the first to be booted from the show

The 51-year-old veteran dancer cleared up the rumours surrounding his state on the show during an appearance on...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
