Anton Du Beke is reportedly the latest professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing to come under scrutiny as the BBC investigates “serious misconduct” on the show
Former Strictly Come Dancing pro-dancer turned judge Anton Du Beke has been named to lawyers Carter Ruck by former celebrity dance partner Laila Rouass, according to the Mirror. The 57 year old dancer and presenter was paired with the former Hollyoaks and Footballers’ Wives actress in the 2009 edition of the show.
“There was no racist intent whatsoever but I accept that it is a term which causes offence and I regret my use of it, which was done without thought or consideration of how others would react. I apologise unreservedly for any offence my actions might have caused."At the time, Laila, who has an Indian mother and Moroccan father, accepted Anton’s apology. "It was a situation which happened that we have moved on from and I accept his apology," she said.
At least two other celebrities have made complaints about their treatment on Strictly Come Dancing in recent weeks, with the BBC launching an investigation following Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott coming forward about their experiences of training with Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, respectively.
