BBC director-general Tim Davie has issued an urgent apology in response to the allegations against Strictly Come Dancing.
In recent weeks and months, complaints from former celebrity contestants have emerged and resulted in the exits of pro dancers Graziano Di Prima and Graziano Pernice.
On the same day the Beeb published its annual report and accounts, Davie decided to address the scandals engulfing the show ahead of its 20th anniversary series.
