The 2024 line-up for BBC's 'Strictly Come Dancing' has been announced, featuring 15 celebrities, including legendary punk star Toyah Willcox, who is excited yet aware of the challenges ahead. Willcox, who has a history in music and acting, expressed that recent bullying allegations within the show made her seriously consider her participation, stating, 'it’s now or never'. This season is shadowed by controversy, as an internal investigation into allegations of abusive behavior by professional dancers is ongoing, prompting the BBC to introduce new welfare policies such as chaperones for participants. Chris McCausland, the show's first blind contestant, also aims to break barriers despite the daunting nature of the competition. The launch show is set to air on September 14, 2024, amidst heightened scrutiny and expectations for the contestants. Overall, this season combines excitement with serious considerations regarding participant safety and well-being.
