What trouble is Strictly Come Dancing in?

Tuesday, 23 July 2024 18:28, UK

It is one of the most successful television shows of all time and this year’s series was intended to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

But controversy has plagued the BBC dance competition in recent weeks. Two dancers quit the show amid allegations of misconduct and last week it was announced that production staff will oversee all rehearsals for the upcoming season.

The BBC’s annual report was published today and its director general, Tim Davie, apologised while addressing the Strictly controversy, saying the corporation would “never tolerate unacceptable behaviour”.

Presenter Niall Paterson meets our entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer and TV critic Scott Bryan to discuss how the BBC has handled the crisis and the future of Strictly.
