Strictly crew turn on show blasting dancers over 'verbal abuse' and celebrity rage backstage in latest scandal twist


Strictly Come Dancing faces another scandal before its 20th anniversary launch as behind-the-scenes staff come forward with accusations of ‘verbal abuse’ and celebrity bullying backstage

Production staff like Oscar, who work long and anti-social hours, often for low pay, have spoken anonymously to reporters for the story to protect their careers in the industry. We act speedily when any issues are raised, and have thorough, effective, and longstanding processes to manage them and we’re sorry if anyone didn’t feel able to talk about their experience on-set at the time.”
