00:00I love Strictly Come Dancing.
00:01The allegations are about, isn't it, like, the dancers
00:06who train the celebrities, they're, like, too harsh.
00:08Oh, really? It's, like, bullying.
00:10Oh. But I think dance coaches are usually, like, quite...
00:14Be strict. Strict, yeah.
00:16Give you that top mark. Yeah.
00:19Maybe they should just be a bit more gentle,
00:21seeing as the celebrities don't have any experience.
00:24That's a very good take. Yeah. Very good take.
00:26My mate Nigel Harman was on it,
00:29and he invited me to come and watch the show.
00:33And there was one point in the filming
00:34where he snuck us off to the bar,
00:37and we were in the bar far too long,
00:40and the whole production were waiting for us
00:42to get back into our seats.
00:43So that was a little bit embarrassing.
00:44I've heard recently the scandals revolving
00:48around the treatment of head staff and competitors,
00:51and I can't really say much beyond the fact
00:55that it sounds like there needs to be more safeguards in place
00:58to ensure people aren't mistreated.
