Strictly Come Dancing Star Arrested London Rape Image Abuse Inquiry
A male star in his 30s from the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing was arrested in east London on suspicion of rape, non-consensual intimate image abuse, and drug-related offences, following a third-party allegation. The arrest is part of a joint investigation by the Metropolitan Police and Hertfordshire Constabulary and is not linked to the upcoming 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing, which is currently in rehearsal and set to air in September. The suspect has not been named publicly and has been released on bail pending further inquiries, with police urging anyone with information to come forward. The BBC has declined to comment on the ongoing investigation. This arrest comes amid a wider period of controversy for the show, which has recently faced multiple scandals including alleged drug use by some participants and previous investigations into bullying and harassment. In response to past issues, the BBC has introduced welfare measures such as mandatory chaperones during rehearsals to improve participant safety.
