Early Strictly Come Dancing favourite Dani Dyer sparks 'fix row' as her past dance experience is revealed
Strictly Come Dancing's Dani Dyer has sparked a 'fix row' as her past dance experience has been revealed. The former Love Island star, 29, is the early favourite to lift the Glitter Ball trophy with bookies having her at 4/1, while YouTuber George Clarke is next on 6/1. But now it has been revealed in an unearthed passage from her autobiography, Dani boasted about being a 'qualified dancer', with fans questioning if she has an unfair advantage. Last year trained dancer Tasha Ghouri faced a backlash for her training, as well as JLS star JB Gill. The daughter of acting legend Danny Dyer said in her 2019 book that she would put 'qualified dancer' under the list of qualifications on her CV. Writing in her book, Dani wrote about how she went to theatre school at weekends from the age of 2 to 14. She said: 'It was called O'Farrell's Stage School and I was a really good little dancer. 'I'm not a bad singer but it was the dance stuff I loved more - jazz, tap, ballet, modern. I'd get home and prance around the house.' Daily Mail has contacted Dani's representatives and BBC for comment. Dani, who wed husband Jarrod Bowen this year, shot to fame in 2018 on the ITV2 dating show when she bagged the £50k prize with Jack Fincham. Speaking about taking part in the new series of Strictly, Dani said: 'Getting the opportunity to be on Strictly is the second most amazing thing I've done this year! 'I feel very very blessed and cannot wait to get my dancing shoes on.' She joins a host of stars in the lineup which also includes actress Alex Kingston, 62, former footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, 53, trailblazing Down syndrome model Ellie Goldstein, 23, and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, 36. Strictly's new series has been hit by a string of scandals in the lead-up to its return, including revelations that the broadcaster had hired a law firm to probe allegations of drug taking by two individuals. One of the stars involved in the drugs probe was also suspected of drinking while working on the show after crew smelt alcohol on their breath. The Sun alleged that it was widely known that the pair, who have not been named, took the Class A substance, and that one of these Strictly performers was known for being a drinker. The publication have now reported that junior members of the team were asked to keep an eye on them during last year's show and to look for signs that they may have been boozing during work hours. Over the weekend, a staffer also claimed they were offered cocaine by one of the show's stars. He told The Sun: 'The main partying is on site at Elstree after filming of the live show has finished. Boozing and drug taking goes on until 3am, sometimes 4am. The smoking area outside is a hive of activity. Cocaine gets taken there'. He went on to claim that drug use was so common on the show, that when he found a suspicious bag of white powder, an unfazed senior producer told him to 'leave it on my desk' as the incident failed to raise even an eyebrow. The staff member also said the show's annual special filmed at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom was an especially 'big party night' full of debauchery. 'I was offered cocaine by a star at an after show party. Lots of people would go back to the hotel. It was a closed-off party, just for the cast and crew. It went on until 5am, even to 6am, it was insane. People were wired and you could see it in their eyes'. A BBC spokesperson told Daily Mail: 'We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further.' The shock allegations come amid a long period of controversy for the BBC and Strictly over the past year or so. In July last year, more than six months after quitting the show citing 'personal reasons', actress Amanda Abbington accused pro dancer Giovanni Pernice of 'unnecessary, cruel and mean behaviour' during their time dancing together on Strictly. Giovanni rejected the claims immediately, and a BBC investigation ruled in September that her claims of physical aggression and threatening behaviour were not upheld. When BBC bosses published their report into Giovanni's behaviour, it cleared him of the most serious allegations of physical aggression, but upheld verbal bullying and harassment. Complaints of verbal bullying and harassment meant the BBC issued an apology to Amanda, but Giovanni said he was 'pleased the report has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour'. Elsewhere, the show was plunged into crisis after Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans made a controversial joke during his time preparing for the Strictly tour in January. He used a vile sexual innuendo and was also caught up in a 'wandering hand' incident with dance partner Katya Jones , who seemed to remove his arm from her lower waist on the show. After the BBC launched an investigation into his conduct, bosses decided not to renew his radio contract for his show. The TV star confirmed in May that they will not be renewing his one-year rolling contract following a four-month investigation after the inappropriate comments made during his time on Strictly. Elsewhere, in further scandals for the BBC, Gregg Wallace was recently dismissed from MasterChef after more than 40 complaints against him were upheld following a BBC investigation. While his co-star John Torode was also sacked after two decades over allegations that he used the N-word, which he claims to have 'absolutely no recollection' of. In separate further controversy, it's recently been reported that Naga Munchetty could face an investigation from BBC bosses after she was accused of bullying a junior colleague. The BBC Breakfast host, 50, has been placed 'under review' while bosses consider escalating complaints to a formal investigation, The Sun reports. A source said higher-ups had heard from several colleagues and logged concerns over her 'hard' and 'bullying' behaviour on the breakfast show, as well as her Radio 5 Live show.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona review – less smut, more mutt in RSC's delightful dog day afternoon
In the movie Shakespeare in Love, the theatre owner Philip Henslowe outlines the formula of his new star dramatist, including 'mistaken identities … a bit with a dog, and love triumphant'. As the film is set in 1593, the reference by screenwriters Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard is clearly to The Two Gentlemen of Verona in which romances overcome deceit and disguise and the clown Launce has a canine companion, Crab, who is prone to steal the show. During times of tight cultural budgets, such as now, there is an old theatre joke about the RSC being forced to put on One Gentlemen of Verona. Joanna Bowman's revival doesn't quite go that far but has radically cut the text (removing some but not all smut, the antisemitism and some sub-par poetry) for a running time advertised at 80 minutes but in performance 90. The aim is to attract younger audiences: the evening show time is a bedtime-friendly 5pm. Parents and teachers will perhaps advise their charges not to find templates for future relationships in the ruthless trickery between friends Valentine (Jonny Khan) and Proteus (Lance West) when both fall for Sylvia (Siân Stephens), prompting Proteus to fool cruelly current girlfriend Julia (Aisha Goodman). As Stephens is making a professional stage debut and the other three are also early in their careers, this confident and engaging quartet suggest the RSC has access to a flow of future talent. And, as ever, they do well to compete with the bit with the dog. Bowman and stage-handler Launce (a gamely upstaged Stu McLoughlin) completely fail to make Lossi, a silver haired lady lurcher, the 'sourest-natured dog that lives' as Crab is called in the text. Lossi draws an instant 'Aaaah!' from young and some older throats, especially when giving a presumably impromptu wide yawn during one of the longer speeches. Although some scholars make rigorous cases for the play being underrated, it seems reasonable to infer that Shakespeare was relying on Crab to divert the audience from sections that might have done with a refill of the quill. The director follows suit by adding other hectic distractions when the dog is not on. Actors slide down poles on Francis O'Connor's two-tier scaffolded set and, in the multitalented cast of 10, only Lossi doesn't play an instrument. The act four song, Who Is Sylvia?, usually a solo, becomes a full production number (composer John Patrick Elliott, music director Dan de Cruz) with guitars, violin and chorales. In Shakespeare in Love, the dramatist informs an appalled Henslowe that there will be 'no dog at all' in Romeo and Juliet. But, if there were awards for onstage dogs (the Bonies?), Lossi would win one and the RSC should probably check out the possibility of walkies-on roles elsewhere in the canon. Until then, she and her human co-stars provide a late summer afternoon's dream. At The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon, until 31 August
