So sad about Strictly.

It's been part of our family life since it started. I really wanted to think it was as wholesome and joyous and life affirming as it looked, even though I knew it probably wasn't.

And there are celebrities that I feel differently about now because they didn't blow the whistle.😢

I'm starting to wonder what goes on behind the scenes of Dancing on Ice

Oh I can imagine most of these reality shows are all the same tbh , especially Ice. Wouldn't surprise me and look how Philip Schofield was treated ( whatever your view on that particular episode )
Most of the media seems to be a cess pit and lots covered up.

Every time a celeb is voted out, they gush about how wonderful their experience was,and how their dance partner is a friend for life!

People go on it to raise their profile.

They will have wasted their time if they tell the truth and also look at Amanda Abingdon. No one wants to believe her. She's treated like shit for speaking out.

When it gets to the stage of them needing to use chaperones they really just need to call it quits.

Dancing on Ice. There haven't been any complaints so far.

The majority of dancers seem to be able to not abuse the celebrities.

Zara released a statement where she said she feared speaking out because of the backlash and victim shaming.

What are they saying the dancers are doing?
I don't understand

Two of the professional dancers have left the show due to accusations of abuse and bullying.

Cynical about Amanda, she's well known in the TV world for being absolutely cuckoo.

Not saying things didn't happen but not sure it's entirely one sided.

What do you mean cuckoo?

The very one!

Tightfishedtwat · 16/07/2024 17:04

This has been going on for years at strictly. It's not necessarily that the celebs are worried about being believed. They are worried about looking difficult and not being employed in the future.

Namename12345562 · 16/07/2024 17:05

Yikes Georgina Bouzova on strictly! I wouldn’t have want to be paired with James!

LuckySantangelo35 · 16/07/2024 17:06

Judging by some of the comments on Facebook etc, some women REALLY hate women. Why?! Well, we know why I guess…internalised misogyny

Namename12345562 · 16/07/2024 17:07

I really hope it’s my bad hearing and I didn’t hear him refer to her as a ‘porker’ 😳

Maybe another show that should end, or have a new format so contestants are not there for several weeks in a row.

Also the Apprentice.

Charlize43 · 16/07/2024 17:08

Sadly the BBC is a cesspit where Jimmy Savile was protected. Later, so many said that they knew... which begs the question why they didn't do anything.

We should all refuse to pay the BBC TV Licence as our money is being used to abuse women, and not so long along was being used to pay for sexually explicit photographs from a vulnerable young 'person...' How long before the next disclosure?

Didn't Rebecca Furguson say that the X factor was also toxic? Considering some of the judges they have had on there it's not surprising.
Another show only interested in the ratings.

LuluBlakey1 · 16/07/2024 17:24

The whole culture of 'celeb' is fake and false and simply a way of people with little talent making a lot of money from the dimmest of the general public. All of the 'love-in' that takes place on SCD is patently false from Tess 'Professional Northerner' Daley to the antics of the judges, all the whooping, shrieking, hugging, cheering, crying, celebs and the dramatics of the professional dancers. You either take it all with a pinch of salt or be conned by it. It's all just about earning money for all of them- as is all the Katie Price, WAGs, Lauryn Goodman/Kyle Walker rubbish and whoever else.
It's not real, any of it

Are you saying people should be told to lose weight despite their other talents.
Alison Moyet has talked about attitudes to her weight in the 80s. All i ever thought when i saw her was "i wish i had a voice like yours" Guess im woke
