“Strictly Come Dancing,” Britain’s version of the hit TV show “Dancing with the Stars,” announced that chaperones will accompany celebrities when training with their professional dance partners, after two of its dancers left following allegations of abuse.
The BBC, which produces the show, also announced in a statement Tuesday that it has created two new roles specifically “dedicated to welfare support” for the celebrities and dancers and it will “deliver further training for the production team and crew.”
