Strictly judge demands the BBC release the results of the scandal probe now


Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has said the BBC's report into the claims of celebrity bullying on the show needs to be published "sooner rather than later"

The BBC had spent a solid three months delving into allegations of rehearsal room bullying, sparked by a complaint against professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, who has since denied any wrongdoing. Following the controversy, which included complaints from actress Amanda Abbington, who was partnered with Giovanni during her stint on the show, the BBC has implemented tougher safeguards for its stars. As Strictly prepares to film its new series next month, the full celebrity line up has been revealed, featuring DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles, Olympic swimmer Tom Dean, singer Toyah Willcox, former TOWIE star Pete Wicks and Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, 26.
