Both the Daily Mail and the Mirror are now reporting that Rachel Riley also claims to have developed PTSD after doing Strictly. She went on to marry her partner though so he doesn't seem to have been the problem. One of the articles is also claiming she says that many of the other former contestants she's spoken to since doing the show have shared similar experiences. I was surprised by some of the vitriol Amanda Abington got for saying similar but I do realise most people have a fairly basic understanding of trauma. Anyone else very interested in this story?

Faye Tozer is also being reported to have had a negative experience with Giovanni. But the word trauma hasn't been used in that story as far as I'm aware.

Competing in an ice-skating competition on the telly = trauma? I don't think so.
Confused

How very dare you

Exactly, thank you @Zyq and @Rubylooloo Riley’s mask has well and truly slipped. She says the most awful things then screams antisemitism to shut down any criticism. Awful.
