This comes as Strictly is currently facing its biggest crisis in its 20-year existence, with recent months seeing a wave of complaints from celebrity ex-contestants over allegations of “abuse” and “bullying”.

Professional Graziano Di Prima, 30, was booted from the show following allegations he punched and spat at his dance partner Zara McDermott, 27, during rehearsals.

Other reports said he had been accused of “chasing” Zara while “shouting abuse at her”, leaving her so scared that she “locked herself in a bathroom”, as well as “calling her names, asking if she had gained weight and being forceful” leaving her “visibly demoralised” and “in tears”.

Graziano later admitted to kicking the Love Island star and apologised to her in a statement, but added that other allegations did not match “how she remembers it”.

Zara herself previously claimed in a statement that there had been “particular incidents within the training room which were incredibly distressing” but did not report the incidents at the time because she was “afraid” of a backlash.

Weeks earlier, Giovanni Pernice, 33, was suspended pending a BBC investigation into allegations of off-camera misconduct by Amanda Abbington, 50, and two other celebrity exes.

The actress recently appeared in an emotionally charged interview with Channel 4, where she compared the show to “the trenches” and claimed BBC producers had been “horrified” by clips which allegedly also depicted “humiliating behaviour of a sexual nature”.

The Sherlock star sensationally quit the dancing competition last year citing “personal reasons” before reports emerged that she had demanded footage of her rehearsals after the experience with the show and her dance partner left her with PTSD.

Giovanni, who has strongly denied any threatening or abusive behaviour, quit the show, and the BBC later launched an investigation into allegations of off-camera misconduct made by Amanda and other celebrities.

Amanda has now claimed Giovanni was attempting to prevent her legal team from accessing up to 50 hours of “toxic” material after producers were forced to place cameras in the dance studio following her harassment complaint to the BBC.

A spokesman for Giovanni refuted the allegations, saying: “The BBC has shared with us the allegations it has been able to corroborate. They bear no resemblance to Amanda’s latest allegations, which were made to Channel 4. Giovanni rejects any allegations of threatening or abusive behaviour.”
