BBC Probes Strictly Cocaine Claims, Offers Rehab

The BBC has launched an external investigation, led by law firm Pinsent Masons, into allegations that two Strictly Come Dancing stars used cocaine, following claims that their drug use was widely known within the show's cast and crew. The allegations were initially raised in a legal submission on behalf of former contestant Wynne Evans, with additional reports emerging since. The BBC has stated that it is offering specialized support, including the possibility of rehab for those involved. While drug testing is not planned for the main show, random checks are being considered for the upcoming Strictly tour. These allegations add to previous controversies surrounding the show, such as accusations of bullying and misconduct. The names of those accused have not been disclosed, and the investigation's findings will determine further action.
