The BBC has launched an internal investigation in ‘Strictly cum dancing’ following new allegations of drug usage on the set, ruling the upheaval around the flagship show.
Surya reported that two anonymous stars were accused of taking cocaine, inspiring the broadcaster to appoint an external legal firm to lead the investigation.
BBC started investigation in ‘strictly cum dancing’ amid allegations of drug use
“We have clear protocols and policies to deal with any serious complaint,” a BBC spokesman told Deadline. “We will always encourage people to talk to us if they worry. It would not be appropriate for us to comment more.”
Deadline reported that the legal team would report directly to the internal BBC unit handling the case.
According to The Sun, the original allegations were stepped up by former contestant Vine Evans from the legal submission made months ago by the Russell Law firm. The claim alleges that two persons – whose identity has not been disclosed, nor are they professional dancer or celebrity participants – used cocaine, and that the behavior is “well known on the set”.
Evans, who were allowed to leave from their BBC radio show after making a comment on camera recently during a strict live tour, commented on Instagram: “My heart breaks to say that the BBC has decided not to renew my contract, so I will not return to my radio show.”
The latest scam is associated with previous year’s controversies, including professional dancers, including Geoani Parnis, whose controversy with former-partner Amanda Abbington became public among an internal BBC investigation. At that time, the broadcaster implemented new welfare policies in the hope of improving the atmosphere of the workplace.
Now, with its 23rd season close, ‘Strictly low dancing’ once again struggles to protect its reputation.
