BBC DG Apologizes For ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Scandal; Says This Year’s Contestants Are “Itching To Get Going”
'Strictly Come Dancing': BBC DG Tim Davie has apologized for the scandal that has seen Graziano Di Prima and Giovanni Pernice exit.
Tim Davie was asked mounds of questions by journalists about the scandal, the current review into allegations, duty of care procedures and the upcoming season during the Q&A session of today’s BBC Annual Report. With the “benefit of hindsight,” Davie said the BBC could have done more, “but the key here is to address the situation.” Questioned on Strictly duty of care by numerous journalists, he said “the measures we have taken I believe are appropriate and fair in terms of training rooms having oversight and that people can have a positive experience.” Davie addressed journalists on the topic prior to the Q&A session, saying “there are limits and the line should never be crossed” before adding: “We will never tolerate unacceptable behavior of any kind.” Amid the current probe, he urged anyone who “feels there is something wrong or wants to talk about their experience” to “raise it with us.”
