Strictly pro Aljaz sparks concern in final as fans spot him ‘sweating and out of breath’
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have been left concerned after show pro Aljaz Skorjanec looked “so sweaty and tired” after his routine with Tasha Ghouri.
The dancer, who returned to the BBC One series for this series after quitting two years earlier, was left “knackered” according to fans.
They called out the Slovenian dad-of-one, 34, after his opening Strictly Come Dancing Couple’s Choice routine with the Love Island alum, 26, during Saturday’s final.
As he appeared out of breath during the chat with host Tess Daly, 55, and placed his hand on his chest, fans took to social media to comment.
One wrote on Reddit: “Aljaz’s Christmas gift from Janette will be an inhaler and a gym membership.”
Another bluntly mused on X: “Aljaz is knackered.”
One put: “I’M CRYING AT ALJAZ ALWAYS SO SWEATING AND TIRED AFTER EACH PERFORMANCE POOR GUY HAVE TO DO IT FOR 3 TIMES TONIGHT.”
A Strictly fan then suggested: “He needs to be in better shape for next season,” as one mused: “Aljaz being completely done and out of breath after the dance and Tasha basically chilling will never not make me laugh.”
One show viewer then put: “Actually, all jokes aside, is he really okay?
“Because he’s sweating something awful. Far more than normal, I think?”
DOUBLE TAKE
It isn’t the first time fans have expressed concern over the TV star.
They begged him to get “checked out” after a routine earlier in the season.
At the time, his heavy breathing was being picked up by the microphone he was wearing.
It caused alarm for some Strictly viewers watching at home, with one tweeting on X: “Aljaz you need to get checked out for that shortness of breath, love.”
It was no wonder Aljaz was out of breath after such an energetic routine in Icons Week, and some viewers saw a more humorous and somewhat cheeky side to the handsome dancer’s loud noises.

Meanwhile, others called out one key flaw between the pairing that had nothing to do with the intense routines.
One expert exclusively told The Sun their partnership lacked chemistry – and merely contained “professional respect.”
