National World - LocalTV

Do you still watch shows like Strictly - why/why not? How do the recent abuse allegations change the way you see the show? Would it stop you watching - why/why not?

Transcript

00:00I love Strictly Come Dancing.

00:01The allegations are about, isn't it, like, the dancers

00:06who train the celebrities, they're, like, too harsh.

00:08Oh, really? It's, like, bullying.

00:10Oh. But I think dance coaches are usually, like, quite...

00:14Be strict. Strict, yeah.

00:16Give you that top mark. Yeah.

00:19Maybe they should just be a bit more gentle,

00:21seeing as the celebrities don't have any experience.

00:24That's a very good take. Yeah. Very good take.

00:26My mate Nigel Harman was on it,

00:29and he invited me to come and watch the show.

00:33And there was one point in the filming

00:34where he snuck us off to the bar,

00:37and we were in the bar far too long,

00:40and the whole production were waiting for us

00:42to get back into our seats.

00:43So that was a little bit embarrassing.

00:44I've heard recently the scandals revolving

00:48around the treatment of head staff and competitors,

00:51and I can't really say much beyond the fact

00:55that it sounds like there needs to be more safeguards in place

00:58to ensure people aren't mistreated.
