Vito Coppola has said that he and his Strictly Come Dancing co-stars 'support each other' after a number of celebrities made allegations over their treatment on the show
Strictly Come Dancing pro Vito Coppola has likened the show's cast to "a big family" amid controversy over allegations about the treatment of several contestants. The BBC One show is set to return this autumn following claims against Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, which prompted an investigation.
He went on to say: "This year we are preparing magical and beautiful numbers with the pros." Speaking about the training, he added: "That's my favourite part, teaching. Because when you teach you give a part of your knowledge, a part of your experience. It comes after actress Amanda Abbington was the first to speak out about "inappropriate" behaviour, telling ITV's Lorraine about a "toxic environment" she experienced on Strictly with pro dancer Giovanni Pernice. Irish TV star Laura Whitmore also claimed she faced "inappropriate behaviour" during her 2016 run on Strictly with Giovanni.
