BBC boss Charlotte Moore has broken her silence on the Strictly abuse claims
Speaking at the Edinburgh TV festival today, she said: “Let’s just put it in perspective – this is a show that has given so much joy to the nation, to people taking part in it, frankly as well as audiences, so it’s a really important show for us.
“I want to make sure that it’s a positive experience for everyone that takes part, from the crew, to the make up artist, to the celebrities, to the dancers.
“It needs to be a positive experience.”
She continued: “So I can’t talk about the individual cases, that’s very important, I think everybody deserves a fair and confidential process.
“But of course, it’s incredibly important this year because of the recent concerns that people have had.
“We have made sure that there is a welfare producer not just across the whole show but there’s one for the dancers, there’s one for the celebrities.
“They will be checking in throughout the process.
