Professional dancer lifted the glitterball trophy twice during ‘Strictly’ career
Oti Mabuse, a former "Strictly Come Dancing" professional dancer and two-time winner, stated that the pressure leading to the show's recent bullying scandal stemmed from the professional dancers themselves, not the producers. This followed claims of toxic behavior against dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, resulting in welfare improvements by the BBC. Others, like Chris McCausland, noted the clash between celebrity contestants aiming to survive and dancers focused on succeeding for their careers.
