The drama behind the scenes of Strictly Come Dancing has reached a boiling point, with reports of a contestant demanding access to rehearsal footage to support a possible legal claim. It seems that the glitz and glamour of the dance floor isn’t the only thing making headlines in the world of ballroom dancing.
Amanda Abbington, best known for her role in Sherlock, was paired with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice for the latest series of the show. However, their partnership was short-lived as Abbington had to leave the competition due to medical reasons. But that’s not where the story ends.
According to The Sun newspaper, Abbington has requested the video footage of her rehearsals with Pernice, as she seeks legal advice amidst reports of tension and friction between the pair. It seems that Abbington believes the footage could support her claims about the stress she experienced during rehearsals, and she has even been diagnosed with PTSD. It’s like a real-life soap opera unfolding before our eyes!
A production insider revealed to the paper that the BBC has received a “data subject access request” for the footage, with the belief that it will “lift the lid on what really goes on behind the scenes.” Who knew that dance rehearsals could be so intense? It’s like a dance-off turned legal battle.
To add even more fuel to the fire, Abbington reportedly needed therapy after leaving the show, with an insider stating that “it has taken her months to get over what she went through.” It seems that the dance floor isn’t all sequins and smiles after all. The excitement of signing up for the show quickly turned into an ordeal for poor Abbington.
But let’s not forget the bigger picture here – Strictly Come Dancing is one of the BBC’s most successful shows, with its 21st series just wrapping up in the UK. It seems that the drama behind the scenes is just as captivating as the dazzling performances on the dance floor. Who needs reality TV when you have the real-life drama of ballroom dancing?
With tensions running high and legal claims looming, it seems that the world of Strictly Come Dancing is far from the glittering paradise we see on screen. Who knew that behind the sequins and twirls lay such a tangled web of drama and legal battles? It’s like a dance competition crossed with a courtroom drama. We can’t wait to see how this story unfolds!
