Laila Rouass is seen for the FIRST TIME since Strictly’s Anton Du Beke ‘raised concerns’ after calling her the P-word in rehearsals when she got a spray tan amid ongoing abuse scandal
As a long-time fan of Strictly Come Dancing, I’ve watched with growing concern as the show I love has been mired in controversy these past few weeks. The allegations of misconduct and bullying levied against professional dancers Graziano Di Prima and Giovanni Pernice, and former celebrity contestant Steve Backshall’s claims of being “bullied” by Ola Jordan, have cast a dark shadow over the upcoming season.
Laila Rouass made her first appearance since news broke out that Anton Du Beke expressed worries during their collaboration on Strictly Come Dancing in 2009.
As a devoted admirer, I can share this experience from a first-person perspective: In the training room, the judge, who was 58 years old, left me in tears when he pointedly commented that I resembled a “P****” after I had received a spray tan.
During the occurrence, Anton expressed regret and acknowledged feeling both foolish and ashamed over his remarks directed at the actress.
Laila, who is of Indian and Moroccan descent, reportedly made amends with Anton a few weeks later.
Last week, the long-standing controversy surrounding the historical incident with the hit show and its dancing professionals was brought back into the spotlight due to recent accusations.
An increasing number of famous people are sharing their stories about the show, as allegations of mistreatment and harassment from past participants persistently multiply.
After putting aside the recent disagreement, Laila looked cheerful as she ventured outside for a breath of fresh air in Essex on Sunday.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d say this: I once saw Holby City’s brilliant star strolling through the park, making denim blue jeans and a black top with a blazer look effortlessly chic while walking her beloved pooches.
At that point, it became known that Anton had made a lighthearted remark to Laila, asking if she was a terrorist due to her North African background.
After the revelation on It Takes Two, Laila expressed: “We’re making it through this ordeal side by side. This past week has been challenging for us both… Yet, we simply wish to put it behind us and move forward.”
‘This happened weeks ago and we’ve been getting on very well.’
Anton expressed again his regret and apologized to Laila, the entire show crew, and viewers at home for his actions last weekend. He felt ashamed and foolish.
Instead, he added: “That was a foolish action and remark. Unfortunately, it’s drawn attention away from the excellent show we put on.”
‘As I say I am mortified about it, completely, and Laila has been quite remarkably wonderful.’
As a lifestyle expert, I understand that sometimes words can be misconstrued or taken out of context. In the case of Bruce Forsyth’s comment about the controversy, it may have been better expressed as follows: “I realize now that my earlier remarks could have been perceived as insensitive. I did not mean to downplay the importance of the issue at hand. Moving forward, I will be more mindful of my words and their potential impact.”
In an interview with TalkSport radio, he shared: “Looking back, we found humor in this situation. Go back 25 to 40 years, and you’ll find that there was always some lightheartedness surrounding it.”
Once upon a time, the Americans would teasingly label us as “limeys,” a term that might not have the most pleasant connotation today. However, we Brits found amusement in this moniker. After all, everyone deserves a little pet name now and then.
But hours later a statement from Bruce was issued by the BBC.
Anton’s statement to Laila was incorrect, and he has issued a heartfelt apology for his mistake. It’s important to note that I do not support or find amusing the employment of racially insensitive language under any circumstances. To put it plainly, such language is never acceptable or humorous.
Although there’s a significant distinction between this and hateful remarks intended to harm, let’s remember not to overreact even in today’s sensitive climate.
The statement added ‘these are my personal views and not necessarily those of the BBC’.
Currently, Strictly is experiencing its most significant crisis in its 20-year tenure with the BBC, as a number of former celebrity participants have voiced criticisms in the past few months.
I, Graziano Di Prima, aged 30, regrettably lost my spot on the show due to allegations that I physically harmed and spat at my dance partner, Zara McDermott, who is 27 years old. After careful reflection, I issued an apology to Zara through a public statement.
A few weeks ago, I was unexpectedly suspended from my role at the BBC while they conducted an investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct made against me by Amanda Abbington and two other ex-celebrity partners.
James Jordan added more intensity to the Strictly bullying controversy when Steve Backshall accused Ola Jordan, James’ wife at the time, of bullying him during their appearance on the show in 2014.
A previous “Strictly” dance professional made a lighthearted comment about a long-time TV personality on social media, following reports that he had filed a complaint with the BBC regarding Ola, his professional partner, for her allegedly rude and impatiens behavior.
The fan of Strictly challenged the tough adventurer, who has encountered dangerous animals like Great White sharks and venomous snakes, with disbelief over being moved to tears by the short dancer, James. In response, James playfully asked for assistance: “Could you please save me?”
As a devoted fan, I’ve learned that TopMob recently disclosed some potential changes for the upcoming series of the show. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, our beloved hosts, might start off by extending an apology. They aim to acknowledge any allegations of abusive behavior endured by celebrities in the past, in a heartfelt attempt to salvage the show.
According to reports, BBC authorities are eager to put an end to the scandal as soon as it kicks off in September. Insiders even expressed their relief that the situation will commence then.
The presenters might be required to acknowledge and apologize for the issue at the beginning of the initial broadcast, as per requests from Amanda, Zara, and Steve.
An inside source shared with us this information: This year’s production of Strictly will mark its 20-year anniversary, making it a special occasion to honor the show and its rich history.
“The BBC is eager to put the recent events behind them and begin anew. The upcoming show can’t come soon enough.”
Amid allegations, a number of Strictly famous contestants are reportedly part of a clandestine group where they exchange experiences of challenges they faced and validate each other’s claims.
But Tess and Claudia may not address the sudden departures of Giovanni and Graziano.
