The investigation that began with accusations against the show's professional dancer Giovanni Pernice has widened after more complaints surrounding the hit show.
It's the dark cloud that has been hanging over the BBC 's much-loved Strictly Come Dancing for more than six months.
It means that Mr Pernice, who has already let his frustrations at the investigation be known, faces an even longer wait for an outcome after three former dance partners, including actress Amanda Abbington, instructed lawyers to make 'serious complaints' about his conduct. 'It is all a big headache for the BBC, it is about to celebrate a massive milestone with its 20th anniversary.
The BBC last night refused to comment on the matter but it did confirm in a statement that more than one complaint has been made. It was revealed last week that a plea was made online for anyone involved in the show at any time in the past two decades to come forward and speak to the BBC if they had experienced any bad behaviour.
