The TV presenter, 39, who was partnered with the Italian dancer, 33, on the show in 2016, has claimed she initially raised concerns to the BBC six years ago.
Although she hasn't made a formal complaint, Laura hopes to get 'just an acceptance' of what happened to her in the rehearsals room as she posed on her Instagram on Saturday. Laura admitted she has discussed with six former Strictly stars about their time on the show and took their information to the BBC. Her new statement shared to her Story has been met with mixed reaction - some saying she was brave to make her comments while other wondered why she hasn't said anything until now.
