What's your take on the situation?

The Strictly Scandal Explained

“The BBC denied these allegations”
Is this the same trustworthy and highly respected BBC that “denied the allegations” of Jimmy Saville?

I feel sorry for the professional dancers who get paid so much less than the "celebrities" and work way harder.

[leopold]

I dunno… I very much doubt Caroline Flack was warning us about Strictly specifically. Given everything that happened, it seems more like a coded message about her own mental health, which was probably not in great shape before she did the show. I doubt the TV industry on the whole has much in place to help those who are struggling with their mental health, so to level this at one show feels harsh. I still feel bad for Caroline, she must’ve been working so hard to hide the demons from everyone, which would only have made things worse and I suspect this is what drove her to end her life. Such a sad end, she deserved better

rachel riley has ptsd but is literally married to pasha??? wtf

[racheljackson]

Vick Hope i feel sorry for the most. not only her dancing partner didn't defend her, but the fans had it out for her even WORSE!

[karinaarts]

I enjoy watching the show, but it should not be such an evil experience behind the scenes. I hope thing get sorted out

[charvanders]

I know a couple of guys who worked behind the scenes on strictly. They both came home with their spirits broken

[manuellayburr]

Have you ever met a ballet dancer. I have. She was a mental wreck as a result of her training. Professional dancers have much higher demands on them than these celebrities.

[carolynandcocohaywood]

I’d always thought that something wasn’t quite right, one of the reasons I stopped watching it. The professional dancers and judges treated it like a real dance competition when it is just entertainment with most of the celebrities who have never danced before.

[shannonkeys]

No celebrity thats gone on strictly has recovered lol.

[twannifufu]

The people who defended this show when the allegations came about are weird. Nothing is perfect, so why would you demonize someone for sharing their experience regarding something you love? Get over yourself. Your nostalgia glasses are blocking our reality.

[richardsharpe]

Could you do one on famous people who said no to Strictly Come Dancing

[TheSpiciestGinger]

What's sad is most the celebs featured here who had a hard time were the ones I was most excited to see or impressed by 😔sorry they were all treated so poorly 😔

[Tsunami]

Im actually quite gutted about all this nastiness and the way i now see Strictly! I have always loved it, to me when Strictly comes on its the countdown to Christmas, and always loved the Halloween special! Im just sad i dont think im going to be able to enjoy it anymore 😢

[tomlevick]

Rachel Riley smeared an honourable man(and this is nothing to do with strictly). she's crying wolf.

[LisaFerguson-lwil]

My favourite couple were Dianne Buswell and Joe Suggs. Joe had a very successful Utube channel, and Dianne ended up having her own Utube channel. They fell in love while doing Strictly and are still very much together. I'm sad to see Giovanni leave the programme. His partner was a real pain-in-the-neck.

[LeeHutchingsdrumsUK]

Professional dancing enables egotistical behaviour. Sad, but true.

[lynnetilley]

They had to comment as their careers are failing so they needed a bit more fame. If all they can do is blame mental health then they shouldn’t of been on the show in the first place, it takes a lot of work and commitment which they were not prepared to do.

[rayskitten]

What the hell I spent 18 years involve in theatre dancing singing acting etc if you have to learn something in a short space of time then the people teaching it to you can come across as bullies and domineering if your skin is not thick enough to cope with that maybe you should do something else I am very surprised at Danny Jon joules his entry is the only one on the list in my opinion that may have some credence as he is a trained dancer the others agreed to do the program knowing how places like the BBC work and knowing but they may have to do a month's worth of training in one week and they still complain Caroline bless her was struggling with her own demons and maybe make the wrong choice by saying yes to the program
