Strictly Stars Reprimanded Over Sex Toy Video Incident

Wynne Evans and Jamie Borthwick, stars of Strictly Come Dancing, were reprimanded by BBC executives following the circulation of a video showing Borthwick brandishing a sex toy gifted by Evans. The video, filmed two days after Evans made a controversial sexual remark about dancer Janette Manrara, was shared in the Strictly contestants' WhatsApp group, prompting outrage due to its inappropriate nature for a family-oriented show. BBC bosses were reportedly shocked and swiftly addressed the situation with both celebrities, emphasizing the need for professional conduct. Evans, who has faced previous controversies on the show, was subsequently removed from the live tour. The incident has sparked discussions about the behind-the-scenes culture of the show, with some cast members not sharing the pair's humor. Evans is considering legal action against the BBC for reputational damage, believing his earlier comments were taken out of context.
