Edwina Currie and Reverend Richard Coles appeared on Good Morning Britain to weigh in on the Strictly scandal. Edwina says 'the issue today is that they have a lot of influencers' and they don't realise 'how much hard work' it is.
Have YOU got a story? Email [email protected] Strictly Come Dancing bosses attempted to gag Angela Rippon from revealing the gory details of an injury she got on the show, it has been claimed.
'And we were told to scale this back, you are not to mention you cut your leg and there was blood. Well, why not? Unimpressed with this, Sue added: 'And I felt that was too controlling and the public would like to know some of that.' It came just weeks after Giovanni Pernice, 33, was suspended while a BBC probe is conducted over claims of off-camera misconduct made by Amanda Abbington, 50, and two other former celeb partners.
BBC executives sacked Graziano after members of production presented bosses with video of the pro dancer 'hitting and kicking' Love Island star Zara during training last Autumn. One BBC insider told the Mail's Katie Hind: 'There is absolutely no doubt that those very high up on Strictly, and wider at the BBC, knew about Graziano's behaviour - but they allowed him still to appear on screen.'
The BBC's official response was: 'While we would never comment on individual cases, it is well known that the BBC has established robust duty of care procedures and if issues are raised we will always take them seriously and act swiftly as appropriate.' With news this week that a third professional dancer - who is no longer on the show - is also part of the probe into the BBC series, insiders have told The Sun that it is 'becoming clear is that there appears to be a more widespread issue over the conduct of some of the professionals in training.'
This time round though there has been no leaks suggesting a crisis at the earliest stage of the series.
