This is definitely shocking. Strictly shouldn’t be cancelled, but the BBC need to learn from all mistakes they’ve made. I hope this year’s series goes the best it can despite all of this
Absolutely keep Strictly. It’s a national treasure but ABSOLUTELY put in place chaperones so dancing divas don’t disrespect their celebrities, also professionals who understand disabilities so people like Will don’t suffer for months after due to poor management. Care during and care after.
Sorry if this comment isn’t related to Strictly and if I’m being over dramatic, but the fact that ITV decided not to cancel Love Island after 3 suicides just made me sick to the stomach. When Steve Dymond took his own life after appearing on The Jeremy Vile Show, ITV did the right decision by cancelling it entirely. But when Caroline Flack took her own life, ITV did the wrong thing, and just commissioned more new seasons of Love Island. Now, I know they’ve adopted strict rules and new aftercare initiatives, but it’s not good enough. If they’d cancelled Love Island, after Thalassitis’, Gradon’s and Flack’s suicides, that would’ve been a step in the right direction.
This is absolutely what I was thinking too.... for all those calling for Strictly to be cancelled - where are they regarding Love Island? Totally agree with you
Strictly has run its course after 20 years. The format is tired, and the continuous scandals have damaged the show beyond repair. Our licence fee is worth more than this.
I think Strictly will recover if these problems never happen again with Professional dancers being watched by Production Staff while training Celebrities during practises for the main show.
Years ago when fiona Phillips went on she had a terrible time. The dancer she had (I forget his name) was giving her a hard time, stropped about when they got low scores and dragged her round the dance floor like a doll
It’s so difficult I don’t generally watch Haven’t since Len Goodman left I know it’s well loved but I think knowing of this scandal and what they experience I don’t think I’ll be comfortable watching it
If I had experienced that kind of treatment, I’d have walked off the show and would have found another way to raise my profile in the hope of furthering my career.
But I have been in a similar situation - alright not on Strictly but in the theatre - and I can tell you I didn’t put up with it then and I wouldn’t put up with it now!
@@saltysliegh They have video evidence of Graziano physically abusing Zara and that's why he was rightly sacked immediately. There isn't video evidence of Giovanni abusing Amanda. I usually believe people when they talk about accusations like this, but there is something not right with Amanda's. There's footage of her talking to Giovanni saying she was surprised he took her on because she can be difficult to work with, her thanking him for helping her deal with issues she was having and how supportive he was. A well known comedy actor has also come out and said he warned Strictly about having her on the show. He was asked to be on the same series as her and he refused once he knew she was going to be on it.
Chaperone's, extra assistant's for disabled contestant's, after care for all contestant's.... People wonder why the BBC no longer make proper programmes & have to instead rely on these type of show's .... Frankly I'm more surprised that there hasn't been more complaint's about the obvious pre decided "winner", as the last few year's very few of the "professional dancer's" even try to hide it anymore It's just a further sign of how ridiculously bloody WOKE the BBC & EVERYONE who work's there seem to have become.... It may be a family show but all contestants in Strictly are ADULTS, they shouldn't need to be told not to cheat on their spouses/partner's, or bully, humiliate & be physically aggressive with their celebrity partner...they should know better... If they play up sack & replace them.... Don't pay them untill the show has been filmed & it's finished.... Or best of all just do away with the BBC & all their "luvie's" will have to prove themselves worthy of working on TV instead of getting job's just because someone in management supports the team they used to play for or the band they used to be in or even who they're married/related to or friend's with ... The TV celebrities USED to be known as "The Talent".. sadly no longer 🤷🏼♀️
Well the Zara situation has been proven to be true but I dunno I'm still on the fence with Amanda for some reason i still don't believe her if gio really did do what he did to her shorly there'd have to be video evidence like with gradz and Zara and as for Laura saying gio sent her a really explicit video why didn't she show anyone what hed done the in fact the only person's side im on is wills the way the show has handled there disabled contestants is disgusting
Strange how it's taken so long for these people to complain. I suppose once the publicity and money has gone, they need to do something to get back into the public eye!!.
Considering there are apparently hours of footage that supports her claims and more contestants by the day who opened up about going through similar experiences, I think it's safe to say she's telling the truth.
@catherinelestrange And it's very much in keeping with known previous issues with the Beeb and other corporations. Janet Street Porter is right, it's (yet another) management issue that they should have been on top of.
@@SirAsdf "apparently" - funny how they are not coming out. With Graziano it was instant. I am not even sure what she is saying: she gives no examples of physical or verbal abuse.

" or "You are a disgrace...." her examples are very vague.... I've worked with those who have been abused and they're very specific about abuse - as Zara was. She was very clear as to what went on, she said her piece and got the correct result. Something about Amanda reminds me of Amber Heard
That’s not inclusive, it shouldn’t be because you have a disability you can’t do this it should be, how can we include you in this as otherwise your excluding a large number of people which isn’t fair
@@charleslambert8648 that’s life I’m old I can’t run or dance, small people can’t high jump should we lower the jump 🤷🏼♀️ nooooo grown ups should just know their limitations, that person with a disability is entering a special Olympics because he’s not fit enough to enter the one for people without disabilities.

JUSTICE FOR STRICTLY COME DANCING
@@WatchMojoUKi can understand them having chaperones in the training room
It will also protect the professional dancers against false accusations from temperamental and spoiled celebrities.
@@Outlier999 true. As a fan of strictly since 2008 (series 6) I'd remember Giovanni for the dancing NOT what happened in the training room
If the BBCwould release the footage it would stop all the uproar and prove the truth one way or the other

Everywhere More Scandals
When I saw the title I was like “which one?”
They need a specialist in sports or dance injuries and physical therapy, and a chaperone necessary.
Strictly has run its course after 20 years. The format is tired, and the continuous scandals have damaged the show beyond repair. Our licence fee is worth more than this.
Why not update the show a bit?
I think Strictly will recover if these problems never happen again with Professional dancers being watched by Production Staff while training Celebrities during practises for the main show.
Bringing in chaperones isn't going to make these accusations go away.
Giovanni treated Rose 🌹 with compassion and respect 🫡. At the end of the season she called him a great friend. She has never retracted those words.
Years ago when fiona Phillips went on she had a terrible time. The dancer she had (I forget his name) was giving her a hard time, stropped about when they got low scores and dragged her round the dance floor like a doll
Another bbc scandal? Well i never! 😮
I used to watch Strictly religiously but rarely have since James Jordan (who had a lovely big bum) left
Courtney!😂
It’s so difficult
I don’t generally watch
Haven’t since Len Goodman left
I know it’s well loved but I think knowing of this scandal and what they experience I don’t think I’ll be comfortable watching it

Easy to say what you'd do in a situation you aren't in
But I have been in a similar situation - alright not on Strictly but in the theatre - and I can tell you I didn’t put up with it then and I wouldn’t put up with it now!
It is not compulsory to stay if you're unhappy? Of course the pay Abington got is pretty good...
So where is and r the videos and where is and r the witnesses and why have they not come out and forward
There are and is something called innocent until proven guilty
They have the abuse on tape. Can't help but wonder why you would defend abusers🤔
I think its more a case of you supporting the abusers rather than the presumption of innocence.

Amanda Abbington is either telling the truth or she is another Roxanne Pallett

Why just come out now you were friends and taking photos and posting it and going out together to party’s and stuff after the show
Maybe do not allow people with disabilities if they think it may be toooo strenuous for them, you see 3 legged race horses
That’s not inclusive, it shouldn’t be because you have a disability you can’t do this it should be, how can we include you in this as otherwise your excluding a large number of people which isn’t fair
