‘Dancing With The Stars’: Conversations Taking Place Over Tightening Of Protocols In Wake Of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Scandal


The 'Strictly Come Dancing' scandal may impact 'Dancing With The Stars' protocols after Graziano Di Prima exited for kicking Zara McDermott.

A spokesman for BBC Studios said “new measures being introduced in the UK” will contribute to an “ongoing dialogue” around international versions of the show, of which there are dozens including in the States. “The new measures being introduced in the UK on Strictly Come Dancing will contribute to this ongoing dialogue and we’ll continue to work with local broadcasters to ensure that stringent contributor welfare processes are at the heart of all versions of the show,” he added.
