Television presenter Laura Whitmore claimed she experienced inappropriate behaviour during her time on 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2016.

Partnered with Giovanni Pernice, she was the seventh celebrity eliminated.

Whitmore initially raised concerns then but revisited the topic following allegations against Pernice by actress Amanda Abbington in 2023.

Whitmore's recent statement highlights a pattern of behaviour, aiming to support the BBC's investigation instead of pursuing a formal complaint.

The BBC plans to enhance welfare measures for show participants.
