A fresh wave of scandal threatens the glittering world ofStrictly Come Dancing, reviving whispers of the infamous “curse” that has haunted the show for years. Sources reveal a secret affair recently unfolded between a celebrity contestant and a professional dancer, occurring while the celebrity was still in a committed relationship.
The revelation comes at a particularly turbulent time for the BBC, already navigating the fallout from recent controversies and the departure of beloved hosts. The timing adds immense pressure on the show’s producers, who are grappling with a series of unsettling incidents.
Details remain closely guarded, but insiders confirm the affair was concealed from the wider production team. However, in retrospect, those close to the pair now recognize subtle signs of a deeper connection during their time on the dance floor.
This isn’t an isolated incident. The show has faced increasing scrutiny following contestant Amanda Abbington’s abrupt exit in 2023. Months later, she publicly accused her professional partner of creating a “toxic environment” and engaging in “unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean” behavior, prompting a formal BBC investigation.
The investigation, while finding no evidence of physical aggression, did uphold complaints of verbal bullying and harassment. Simultaneously, another professional dancer departed the show amidst allegations of abusive conduct towards a former partner.
Further compounding the issues, a separate incident led to aStrictlystar being removed from the live tour following inappropriate comments directed towards the tour host. The BBC swiftly condemned the behavior, reinforcing a zero-tolerance policy.
Most recently, another celebrity participant faced swift repercussions for using offensive language, resulting in their removal from the program. The series of events has cast a shadow over the beloved competition, raising questions about the environment behind the scenes.
The “Strictly curse,” long a topic of speculation, appears to be more than just tabloid fodder. It represents a pattern of disrupted relationships and troubling behavior that the BBC is now urgently addressing.
