A Strictly Come Dancing star has become the first female on the show to face allegations of bullying a celebrity dance partner.

It has been alleged that the pair would row every single day and that the professional dancer would fly into a rage if he failed to grasp his steps.

His complaint is to be emailed to the legal firm Carter Ruck by tomorrow and is understood to contain no mention of any physical abuse.

Strictly Come Dancing star becomes first female to face bullying allegations

A Strictly Come Dancing source said: "The man in question felt very much victimised by the behaviour of his Strictly partner.

“He alleges that on several occasions she flew into a real fury when he couldn’t get the steps right, and on one occasion screamed full in his face. They rowed every single day.

“He was left upset, struggling to sleep, and feeling isolated in the process. But even worse, he felt totally unsupported by Strictly. When he suffered the setback, it was clear he was struggling, but he felt there was no duty of care. After leaving the show, he was not contacted again, even by phone.”

The source added that the contestant was in a bad place and feared speaking out about the issue.

They said: “The show had a serious impact on his life, and affected his ability to work long after he left the dance floor.”

However, the source stated: “It wasn’t all bad, they did get on some of the time. It’s just there were some ­difficult moments.”

A BBC spokesperson said: “We will not be commenting on individuals or engaging in speculation. However, as we have said previously we will always listen if people want to make us aware of something or raise it with us directly and we have appropriate procedures and processes in place to manage this.”

Carter Ruck is currently handling at least three allegations of misconduct from three ex-contestants.

These include Amanda Abbington, who claims to have suffered from PTSD after her time with Giovanni Pernice.

Last week, Graziano Di Prima was fired after a video of him kicking partner Zara McDermott surfaced. The star has since apologised for his “mistake”.
