Professionals feel 'hung out to dry' by celebrities
Strictly Come Dancing's professional dancers are feeling "hung out to dry" by the celebrities who have recently turned on the show. BBC boss Tim Davie issued an apology for alleged abusive behavior that led to the dismissal of dancer Graziano Di Prima.
Concerns over job security
The dismissal of Graziano Di Prima and the suspension of Giovanni Pernice have left professional dancers on the show fearing for their jobs. Allegations of misconduct have been made against other dancers as well, including Paralympian Will Bayley.
Call for psychological testing
Amid the controversy, dancers are calling for the BBC to introduce psychological testing to vet contestants before they join the show. This move aims to prevent unsuitable individuals from participating and ensure a positive experience for all involved.
Reforms and safeguards
Following the recent scandals, the BBC has announced drastic measures to enhance the safety and well-being of contestants. This includes the introduction of chaperones into training rooms and a potential review of long-serving dancers on the show.
