Strictly Come Dancing bosses are reportedly investigating three professional dancers over the BBC's strict advertising rules. The popular BBC dancing series is set to return in September. You can find out which celebrities are taking part here.
Professional dancers Nadiya Bychkova, Giovanni Pernice and Kai Widdrington are all said to have accidentally breached commercial guidelines after signing up to dance at Strictly-themed events that aren't affiliated with the BBC. This contradicts the broadcaster's policy, which states: "Actors and artists who perform in BBC output should not appear in promotional work, including advertisements, in a way which mimics or replicates their on-air roles for the BBC.”
It has also been reported that judge Anton Du Beke, who features on the bill with dance partner and former Strictly pro Erin Boag, has come under fire too. Last year, DIY SOS' Nick Knowles got in trouble for similar circumstances. You can read more about that here.
