BULLYING ROW
STRICTLY contestants have been silenced by their watertight contracts which prevents them from bad-mouthing the show, a former BBC star says.
“I’ve spoken to contestants and also professionals about it. And I think no one has been surprised that this stuff has surfaced.”, 84, who danced in 2004, said: “The only worry I have is why it took so long for these complaints to surface.they’ve taken will be effective, but they do need to ask themselves why nobody dares make a complaint when things go wrong.”
The BBC says a production team member will now be at all rehearsals, and welfare producers are being hired. A BBC spokesperson insisted: “This is not true. There is nothing to stop contestants raising concerns about their experience on the show.”
