‘The BBC has been cloth-eared’: can Strictly Come Dancing survive? With Edwina Currie | SpectatorTV

The BBC has apologised to Amanda Abbington after the broadcaster concluded its review into her claims against Giovanni Pernice. They’ve upheld ‘some, but not all’ of her complaints, but cleared him of the most serious allegations. Can Strictly Come Dancing survive their biggest scandal yet? How will the apology affect the series going forward? Edwina Currie, former MP and a contestant on series 9 of the show, joins The Spectator’s editorial manager Lukas Degutis to discuss her time on Strictly, and how the show can move past this scandal. // SUBSCRIBE TO THE SPECTATOR Get 12 issues for £12, plus a free £20 John Lewis/Waitrose voucher https://www.spectator.co.uk/tvoffer // FREE PODCASTS FROM THE SPECTATOR Hear more from The Spectator's journalists on their podcasts, covering everything from the politics of the UK, US and China, to religion, literature, lifestyle and more. https://www.spectator.co.uk/podcasts/ // FOLLOW US   / spectator     / officialspectator     / the-spectator     / spectator1828     / thespectatormagazine
