Strictly bosses make changes after scandals

Forced anti-bullying training for professional dancers

After scandals involving Giovanni and Graziano, Strictly Come Dancing bosses are enforcing mandatory anti-bullying training for all professional dancers. Contracts have been amended to include this new rule, showing a clear stance against misconduct.

Training amid chaos and misconduct investigations

BBC insiders revealed that the show was plunged into chaos this year after Graziano Di Prima was dismissed for mistreating partner Zara McDermott. Following similar complaints against Giovanni Pernice by his partner Amanda Abbington, new rules were introduced, including the presence of chaperones and additional welfare training for the cast and crew.

Zara's injury and revelations

Zara McDermott danced on a broken leg after grueling training sessions, only revealing the injury during an inquiry. The severity of the injury, including ligament damage and a stress fracture, was only fully known recently when private investigators looked into dancers' behavior.

Celebrities speak out and join the show

Despite the controversies, celebrities like Shayne Ward, Sarah Hadland, Tasha Ghouri, Pete Wicks, and Tom Dean have confirmed their participation in the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. Excitement and anticipation are high as the new season approaches.
