Strictly Star investigated about drug use on show ‘also suspected of drinking’

The BBC reportedly launched a probe to investigate claims of cocaine use by two stars from Strictly Come Dancing, with a fresh statement that one of the stars involved also drank in the show.

According to SunA celebrity has claimed that it was ‘known in the show that two star cocaine took’.

In response to the allegations, BBC bosses would have started an investigation with the help of external lawyers.

The claims were reportedly made in March by law firm Russells, on behalf of the former participant and opera singer Wynne Evans.

According to the tabloid, other sources have also reported allegations of drug use to the BBC.

The publication has since then reported That one of the stars involved in the probe was also suspected of drinking after other cast and crew had smoked alcohol on their breath.

A TV insider told the tabloid: ‘The person in question is known to keep to party.

“On a very physical show such as strict, with many sets and moving parts, the idea that someone is intoxicated in any way is completely unacceptable.”

The publication also claimed that the BBC was set up to offer the two stars involved in the drug round the opportunity to attend rehabilitation.

A BBC spokesperson has previously told Metro: “We have clear protocols and policy for dealing with serious complaints that have been collected from us.”

Of the claims, the spokesperson for the BBC continued: ‘We would always encourage people to talk to us if they worry.

“It would not be appropriate for us to give further comments.”

As part of the probe, former participants, both cast and crew all have the opportunity to talk about their concerns with Pinsent Masons law firm.

This is as a source of celebrities told the sun that it is ‘known in the show that two star cocaine names … there was widely discussed under the cast’.

In the meantime, a strict star reportedly described another person in the show as ‘of their face’.

The sun did not mention the stars accused of taking cocaine.

This is at a loaded time for the BBC – and less than a year after the investigation into the accusations of bullying on the strictly set up.

A probe was started in claims of misconduct by professional Giovanni Pernice, who was forced to resign from it in the midst of claiming that he had bullied actress Amanda Abbington during their rehearsals.

After months of research, the BBC maintained two moments of ‘inappropriate behavior of sexual chatter in the workplace’

The research did not reveal any findings with regard to physical aggression, but complaints of verbal bullying and intimidation were maintained according to the PA press agency.

More recently, the BBC has dropped former strictly participant Wynne Evans of his BBC Wales Rolling contract after a series of controversies.

The singer led to a furore when his professional dance partner Katya Jones seemed to be moving his hand out of her waist – of which he said it was a body language experiment that was picked up. “

The pair claimed that this was a ‘foolish joke’ that just failed, but the opera singer was struck by more controversy when reports emerged that he had made an ‘unacceptable joke’ about strictly live host Janette Manrara.

Evans subsequently apologized and described himself as ‘a lot of regret for the pain that my inappropriate action caused’ and would take a break from the public eye for ‘self -reflection’ and ‘prioritize my well -being’.

Metro contacted the BBC for comment on this story.

A version of this story was originally published on August 3.

Strictly Come Dancing returns to the BBC this fall.
