BBC announces ‘additional steps to strengthen welfare and support’ on Strictly following Graziano Di Prima allegations

Strictly has announced "additional steps" to "strengthen welfare and support" on the BBC show following the Graziano Di Prima scandal.

Strictly has announced “additional steps” to “strengthen welfare and support” on the BBC show amid the Graziano Di Prima scandal. Kate Phillips, the BBC’s director of unscripted, said: “Whilst we know our shows have been positive experiences for the vast majority of those who have taken part, if issues are raised with us, or we’re made aware of inappropriate behaviour, we will always take that seriously and act. “But after a lot of conversations with those I love, I’ve gained the strength to face these fears, and when I was asked to speak to the BBC, I spoke candidly about my time on the show.”
