The glittering world of Strictly Come Dancing has been rocked by explosive allegations of cocaine use among its professional dancers. The scandal has sent shockwaves through the BBC, with insiders claiming the issue has been an "open secret" for years.
What We Know So Far
According to multiple sources, several professional dancers on the show have allegedly been using cocaine at after-parties and events. The allegations first surfaced in a tabloid investigation, prompting the BBC to launch an internal inquiry.
BBC's Response
The broadcaster has issued a stern statement: "We treat all allegations of this nature extremely seriously. Strictly Come Dancing has a zero-tolerance policy towards drugs." However, critics argue the corporation turned a blind eye to the problem for too long.

With the new series just months away, producers face a race against time to contain the damage. One insider warned: "This could be the biggest crisis in Strictly's history."
