Strictly stars ‘are kept awake all night at a hotel on the last leg of their UK tour by a group of car racers in Glasgow’
The Strictly stars were reportedly kept awake all night at a hotel on the last leg of their UK tour by group of car racers in Glasgow.
Police were in the area of the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel, where the dancers were staying in Scotland on Saturday night, The Sun reports.
Professional dancer on the tour Nikita Kuzmin took to his Instagram the morning afterwards to moan about only getting 20 minutes sleep.
He had been awake since around 6am to film CBBC’s Saturday Mash-Up! programme – after 32 shows in 24 days across the UK for the tour.
A source told the publication of the night: ‘Some struggled to get forty winks, but they were not letting a few idiotic drivers dampen their spirits and were determined to end the tour on a high.’

Police Scotland said: ‘Officers attended and there was no trace.
‘We are aware of issues relating to car racing in the area and officers carry out regular patrols. This kind of behaviour is dangerous and unacceptable.’
Strictly has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
The Strictly tour has been up and down the country featuring a range of pros, celebs and of course the judges.
From the year’s crop Helen Skelton, Molly Rainford and Fleur East have been dazzling audiences up and down the country.
It comes after last week judge Shirley Ballas performed a dangerous headbanger move with Anton Du Beke during the Strictly live tour.
The maneuverer involves being swung around by the ankles and can often result in a very painful knock to the floor, hence the name.
While it is often performed on Dancing On Ice, warranting extra medics to be present, it’s the first time it’s been attempted on Strictly.

Despite the risks, 62-year-old Shirley had no reservations and put her life in Anton’s 56-year-old hands.
During Wednesday’s show at the SSE Arena in Belfast, host Janette Manrara asked Shirley if there were any couples she would like to dance with.
After Shirly quipped that she wanted to be ‘swung round by the ankles by Anton’, fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood challenged her by responding that there was ‘no time like the present’.
Without hesitation, Shirley was quick to rise to her feet and take to the dance floor with Anton.

Yet despite their eagerness, the pair were unable to perfect the move immediately, with Shirley landing on her stomach on the first go.
Anton then quipped: ‘What did you have for lunch? I told you not to have the stew. I thought my days were up with Ann Widdecombe!’
Yet they gave it another go – which also failed – prompting Craig to scoff it was a ‘complete dance disaster.’
Undeterred, the pair set off for another go and it was third time lucky as Anton was able to send Shirley spinning through the air.
Shirley’s decision to try out the headbanger is even more courageous given she’s just undergone a non-surgical facelift.
The former dancer had five NeoGen plasma treatments over the last several months to reduce wrinkles and improve skin laxity after originally enquiring with a doctor about going under the knife for a surgical face-lift.
Speaking on Loose Women she said: ‘I went to see the doctor to see if I’d be ok to do a face lift. I was seriously thinking about that, a proper knife job. My doctor said he wasn’t comfortable doing that at the moment so I researched.
‘I tried the NeoGen plasma. I had a sagging chin, sun spots, I had veins. I wanted to see if I could tighten up the skin.

‘I have to say, hand on heart, I am delighted with my resulted. I mean look at that jawline girls, come on, 63 this year!’
NeoGen uses ultra-high radio frequency to deliver a controlled pulse of plasma thermal energy.
The pressurised pulse of nitrogen purges oxygen from the treatment area and the level of energy depends on the depth of penetration to the skin and the associated levels of tightening and regeneration effects.
On fearing the stigma around getting procedures to improve her physical appearance, Shirley said everyone should simply do what they want.
