James Jordan appeared to mock a 10-year-old complaint against wife Ola Jordan as Strictly is embroiled in controversy, with allegations continuing to surface . A number of Strictly professionals have been hit with claims of alleged bad behaviour following a probe by the BBC . Following Amanda Abbington's complaints against dancer Giovanni Pernice, who has since left the show, an investigation was launched into the conduct of other professionals on the show.
Sherlock actress Amanda accused Giovanni of being "abusive, cruel and mean" during training before she pulled out of the show. Giovanni strenuously denies all claims made against him and has vowed to clear his name. Graziano Di Prima has since been axed as a result of the BBC probe after it emerged he kicked celebrity partner Zara McDermott in rehearsals, which he has admitted to and apologised for.
And complaints made by former Strictly contestant Steve Backshall have since resurfaced 10 years after he lodged a complaint against James' wife Ola . In 2014, he had reportedly refused to be left alone with her after they were partnered together on the show. Steve had reportedly labelled her "cold and rude", prompting the BBC to assign the pair a chaperone during their rehearsals.
On Monday, James retweeted a tweet appearing to reference Steve's complaint, which read: "@The_OlaJordan stands 5’4” tall and weighs the same as a Pringle packet she can reduce hardened explorers to tears. She’s the dance floor assassin @bbcstr.
