The Metropolitan Police have confirmed they are assessing allegations of misconduct linked to a professional dancer on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. The claims, which surfaced recently, have prompted an internal review by the broadcaster.
A spokesperson for the Met stated: "We are aware of reports and are reviewing the matter." No formal investigation has been launched at this stage.
The BBC has acknowledged the situation, emphasising its commitment to "highest standards of conduct" among staff and contributors. A representative said: "We take any allegations seriously and have robust procedures in place to address concerns."
Strictly Come Dancing, one of the BBC's flagship entertainment programmes, has previously faced scrutiny over the welfare of participants. This latest development comes as the show prepares for its new series later this year.
Fans of the programme have expressed concern on social media, with many calling for transparency in how the matter is handled. The identity of the individual involved has not been disclosed.
