The upcoming 2024 series of Strictly Come Dancing is generating buzz as a leaked list allegedly reveals its largest contestant line-up yet, including stars like Hannah Waddingham, Paul Merson, and Nick Knowles. Amidst ongoing scandals related to bullying and a toxic work environment, all contestants will be assigned chaperones to prevent further allegations. The leaked information surfaced on Reddit, indicating it was meant for a select audience, and includes a variety of well-known personalities, such as comedian Chris McCausland and former Doctor Who star Pearl Mackie. The show is currently facing scrutiny after the departures of professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima due to past incidents, including bullying accusations tied to Di Prima. As rehearsals begin, the BBC has yet to confirm the authenticity of the leaked list. The controversy surrounding the show raises questions about the impact of these issues on its reputation and the contestants' experiences.
