"Opportunists Jumping On A BANDWAGON!" | Strictly Come Dancing Stars Come Out About Show Abuse

The BBC will publish its annual report on Tuesday, amid controversy about the culture and treatment of contestants on Strictly Come Dancing.

The corporation will highlight its successes over the past year and disclose the pay of its top talent, but focus is likely to be on the storm of negative stories about its flagship show and the current internal BBC investigation.

On Monday, former contestant Will Bayley said he suffered serious injury while performing a jump in rehearsals for the programme, and has claimed there was “no duty of care”.

The Paralympian has said producers were told the jump from a table during a routine was too dangerous, but he was encouraged to do it anyway, and after he was injured show bosses made him feel as though it was his fault.

His torn knee ligaments forced him to pull out of the series in 2019.

Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by TV critic Ally Ross, who believes some of the celebrity dancers “may be jumping on the bandwagon”.
