Bosses on the show will hope the return of the action will take a spotlight away from issues that have dogged the show amid a long-running investigation into alleged mistreatment of celebrity contestants. The BBC had spent a solid three months probing into allegations of rehearsal room bullying, sparked by a complaint against professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, who has denied any wrongdoing. Despite the lengthy investigation, the report’s conclusions are still being kept under wraps. Following the controversy, which included complaints from actress Amanda Abbington, who was partnered with Giovanni, the BBC has implemented tougher safeguards for its stars including a chaperone who is present “at all times” in the training rooms. This year’s stars include comedian Chris McCausland, singers JB Gill, Wynne Evans and Toyah Willcox, and TV doctor Punam Krishan. They are joined by Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri, Towie’s Pete Wicks and actors Shayne Ward and Sarah Hadland. Other stars include Gladiators’ Montell Douglas, swimmer Tom Dean, EastEnders’ Jamie Borthwick, DIY: SOS host Nick Knowles, Sam Quek and former footballer Paul Merson.
