Steve Backshall complained to BBC about his Strictly pro Ola Jordan

Steve Backshall complained to the BBC about his professional partner on Strictly Come Dancing Ola Jordan back in 2014 claiming she 'bullied' him.

James and now Ola. No wonder they have been together so long. They are clearly made for each other.

Vincent said that he was choreographing a Charleston for a female pro and there had to be a chaperone in the room at all time because the pro and her celebrity partner didn’t get on. This story references the Charleston, it must be Ola V was referring to.

This article mentions how cold Ola is. So did Georgina, James J partner. She said she was frosty.
 
I think they should do this year, then take an extended break of a few years then come back a different show. None of the enforced touching and smiling and general creepiness, improved welfare for the contestants of course, new costume designers etc. I love Strictly and don’t want it to end but I don’t want to be watching and wondering if people are suffering behind the scenes.

It must be bloody awful having to continue dancing with someone you don't get on with. I definitely couldn't I'd throw the towel in for sure. I know we all (usually) work with people we don't like, but dance is so one-on-one.
 
A Giovanni fan throwing shade on Amanda 😄

I am wondering if it would be fairer at this stage for them to say who they are referring to.
Eg the third male pro, JJ refuted the rumour that it was him. That was neither confirmed nor denied by whoever has the story.

Likewise the female pro, there's naturally a lot of guesswork. It must be hard on those who have always treated their partners properly and respectfully, to be under a cloud too. I am not suggesting trial by social media but if the names are definitely included for investigation, would it be fairer all around, to say who they are?

I’m really confused here. I didn’t see the interview, did Vincent definitely say he was choreographing a Charleston? He’s done some AT choreo for the show, but him choreographing a Charleston would be really odd, because he doesn’t have a specialism in it any more than the other pros do. It’s generally Jenny Thomas who does the Charlestons.

I also don’t get why it ‘must’ be Ola he’s referring to. She’s far from the only female pro to have done a Charleston.

The stuff about Ola & Steve Backshall has been common knowledge for aeons, but I’m not getting how Vincent + Charleston = Ola 🤷‍♀️

The producers have a lot of blame in all the situations we're hearing about now but reading that Janette told him his jump was rubbish and he needed to do more just makes me annoyed. She spent the most time with him out of anyone on that show and would/ should have known his limitations due to his disability and should have done more to protect him.

Can't say its a surprise janettes name has now come up
I've always thought she had a different side behind the cameras
Never seemed friendly in comparison to the other pros
She's no better on ITT wooden, unnatural and like she doesn't want to be there half the time.
 
I'm getting a bit fed up of these celebrities coming out with all sorts of accusations now.

The show has been going for 20 years. Anyone who knows anything about the show knows it a dance show. It is tough physically and very demanding. You're not there for a stroll through the park. They are also not children and could quite easily say no. The vast majority go the contestants can't sign up quick enough to do it.

Will Bailey knew all this. As for the jump, he knew it was wrong and so did his coach. Why did he ever agree to do it, not once but twice? I can even understand the first one but then he most definitely should have said no I'm not doing it.

I do wonder if they are trying to paint Amanda as they are, so that if Gio isn’t cleared, his team can then say BBC felt they had no option etc. So stir up hate towards Amanda and blame her for what appears to be a history of poor duty of care etc.

I seriously believe that in his mind Giovanni wants a dance choreographed return where all the strictly pro's are dancing then suddenly the lighting goes dark, the dancers freeze and all stare at him, a spot light drops and he slowly walks out like he's an all conquering lord of dance having slayed Amanda
That Claudia will start her interview with him by saying Poor poor baby oh sweetheart it's so good to have you back, how are you ? Stupid question but you have been through a lot *insert head tilt .
All pros then jump and cheer while patting his back like the tone deaf morons many of them are right now .
 
I know we don’t have any definite names, but surely all the celebs are signed up by now?
I don’t think the show will be cancelled at this late stage, especially as it’s the 20th anniversary.
But it is going to feel different to me, the vile behaviour of Graziano has seen to that.
At the very least I’m assuming there will now be a limit put on excessive training hours, regular food and water breaks, and pros will be on their best behaviour.
After this series I think there will be big changes at the top, and maybe even a year’s break.
