Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood responds to dismissals of pros Pernice and Di Prima, acknowledging changes in the industry and new welfare measures.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood expressed shock at allegations of gross misconduct involving professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, who were dismissed from the show. Horwood stated that judges have minimal contact with contestants and pros, and they only see each other at the studio. He acknowledged the changes in the industry, and the presence of chaperones in rehearsal rooms is welcomed as a supervision structure. The BBC has also announced that a member of production staff will be present at all future rehearsals, and two new dedicated welfare producers will be on hand during the show's run.
