Piglets star Rebecca Humphries: Public heartbreak over Strictly cheat, toxic relationship, and branding BBC dance show ‘sinister’

Rebecca Humphries joins the cast of ITV comedy Piglets. In 2018, her world fell apart when boyfriend Seann Walsh appeared on Strictly.

Before Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima were embroiled in their recent Strictly scandals, Rebecca knew first-hand all about the pitfalls that came with the BBC dance show – a so-called entertainment series she has since called “sinister”. “Set in a fictional police training college, Piglets is about a newly-recruited group of six very different would-be cops and the handful of key staff whose thankless task it is to knock them into some kind of shape.” More recently, Rebecca portrayed Carol Thatcher in the Netflix Royal drama The Crown, Julia Fincham in Ten Percent, and Carrie Symonds in the TV movie Partygate.
