Controversy and Changes
Strictly Come Dancing bosses have decided to make a surprising U-turn on a longstanding show rule just days before the scandal-hit series is set to return to screens. The BBC One show has been in the midst of turmoil due to controversies surrounding the behavior of some professional dancers in recent months.
Relaxed Approach
For the upcoming series, the show's professional dancers have been instructed to abandon their intense training methods and adopt a more relaxed approach. Previously, rules banning booze and sex among cast members have been lifted, allowing for a more carefree atmosphere.
Celebrity Fun
Insiders have revealed that there is a shift towards a more enjoyable experience for the celebrities participating in the show this year. With a focus on fun and enjoyment, there is less pressure on the stars to conform to strict guidelines. The atmosphere is expected to be more relaxed, encouraging a sense of freedom and enjoyment.
Professional Dancers' Response
Giovanni Pernice, who recently left the show amid complaints, has found new opportunities on the Italian version of the series. He maintains his innocence and is determined to clear his name from the allegations against him. Graziano Di Prima, who was dismissed for misconduct, is also fighting back by preparing a claim for unfair dismissal against the BBC.
