Strictly Come Dancing bosses have been accused of being 'controlling' after they allegedly tried to stop Angela Rippon from revealing the gory details of a backstage injury
Telly bosses at Strictly have come under fire for allegedly trying to hush up the details of Angela Rippon 's unfortunate accident when the broadcasting legend suffered a nasty gash from her own stiletto just before hitting the dance floor last series.
She 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? Because this is showing the BBC at their best. We were encouraged to play down the fact that she had hurt herself so as not to puncture the illusion and fantasy. And I felt that was too controlling and the public would like to know some of that."
Zara McDermott, who danced with Di Prima last season, recently shared that she experienced moments during training that she now finds "incredibly distressing" to revisit.
