BBC To Police All Future ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Rehearsals Following Complaints


The BBC is to police 'Strictly Come Dancing' rehearsals after complaints from Zara McDermott and Amanda Abbington about Graziano Di Prima

All future Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals will be policed by a member of production staff following a duo of high-profile complaints that have seen two dancers exit the show. “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,” said Kate Phillips, the BBC’s unscripted boss. Another popular dancer Giovanni Pernice has announced he is to leave the show, following allegations by a celebrity partner, actress Amanda Abbington, that she suffered PTSD after training with him.
