Strictly: Workers face a 'toxic culture' amid claims from Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott

'He screamed in my face' - junior Strictly runner on the show speaks out.

'The whole culture was toxic, particularly for junior staff,' he says.

'Shouting, screaming and being insulted, to an extraordinary level' BBC Studios say they don't recognise the claims, nor will " hundreds of production personnel" who have worked across the show.

Amanda Abbington , Zara McDermott and Laura Whitmore have made allegations about the way they were treated on Strictly .

Paralympian Will Bayley has also spoken out about his experiences, after he was injured following pressure to do a jump.

Others have described more positive experiences, including a choreographer who still works on the show.

BBC Studios said it "does not recognise" the claims, nor will hundreds of Strictly staff.

BBC encouraged everyone on set to raise concerns of inappropriate behaviour via several avenues, including anonymously to an external third -party whistleblowing service independent of the BBC / BBC Studios .

Mr Davie insists the show will return as planned this autumn .
