'Strictly Come Dancing' star arrested on rape suspicion

Entertainment Nov 21, 2025

A Strictly Come Dancing star was recently arrested in London on suspicion of rape, with the case dating back to 2024.
The accused, whose name hasn't been shared for legal reasons, is out on bail.
The woman who made the allegation isn't connected to the show.

What else is going on?

This arrest comes as Strictly faces a wave of controversies—earlier this year, another male star was accused of rape and image abuse, plus there were drug use investigations and bullying claims among cast members.
With longtime hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepping down, it feels like big changes are ahead for the show.
