This week Artem Chigvintsev was arrested in California for domestic violence, the former Strictly dancer (left with Fern Britton) appeared on the show for four years before moving to the US version.

Meanwhile James and Ola Jordan have been plagued with sexism and homophobia rows since leaving the show (pictured right).

The full lineup for this year's Strictly Come Dancing has finally been revealed. From a trained dancer, TOWIE star, Olympian and a Love Island star, the celebrities are raring to go.

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 bosses are said to be desperate to draw 'an immediate line' under the scandal when it begins in September.

Steve Backshall complained to the BBC about his professional partner on Strictly Come Dancing Ola Jordan back in 2014 claiming she 'bullied' him. The explorer and presenter, now 51, lodged a complaint with the channel after struggling in gruelling practice sessions. The bullying claims have reemerged during a time of crisis for the show amid various abuse scandals and a misconduct probe - with insiders now saying that the series is 'fatally tarnished'.

On Wednesday afternoon at the BBC's stately HQ, Broadcasting House, a meeting was convened to discuss whether or not Strictly Come Dancing could be saved. Could it really be the end for the Corporation's golden goose - that was the question to be tackled after bosses had spent the past ten days fighting for its future. However, their biggest fear, even more than the gradual, insidious drip-feed of complaints, is whether the show, now in its 20th year, is about to have its darker side revealed in full. That the shiny veneer of glitterballs and sequins, so adored by viewers, has gone for ever.
