The videos that hint at trouble behind the scenes of Strictly: Thrown chairs, screaming matches and gruelling training regimes have cast a new light on BBC show amid misconduct scandal

The unfolding drama has led to a renewed focus on any controversial moments from previous years, with a number of resurfaced clips now being widely shared on social media. Fans are particularly aghast at one clip (left) showing professional dancer James Jordan telling his partner he would 'drag her across the floor and scream at her' if she forgets her moves. A second that has raised eyebrows shows dancer Brendan Cole slapping his partner, Fiona Phillips', bottom three times during rehearsals in 2005 (right).

The inside story of the scandals which could end Strictly, reveals KATIE HIND... and the ones that are just sob stories from attention-seeking snowflakes

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 25, 2024
For 20 years it has been the weekly glitzy Saturday night extravaganza which warms the hearts of its viewers in the run-up to Christmas. Millions follow the fortunes of the celebrities paired with professional dancers as they compete for the fabled glitterball trophy. In recent weeks, however, it has become clear that there is more to Strictly than sequins and stardust. The BBC's most popular Saturday night programme since The Generation Game is engulfed in scandal, with multiple stars accusing their dance partners of abuse and bullying. No fewer than eight former contestants have come forward to share details of their alleged ordeals and the scale of the controversy is now threatening the very existence of the Beeb's flagship show. So which of the unfolding scandals are serious enough to end its 20-year reign, and which are simply sob stories from snowflakes jumping on a bandwagon which is careering out of control?

BBC could 'face £1million legal bill' over Strictly Come Dancing misconduct scandal as video emerges of former professional slapping partner's bottom
