Listen Later

It's one of television's most successful shows ever and this year's series was meant to be all about celebrating its 20th anniversary. 
  
But controversy has hit the BBC dancing contest in recent weeks. Two male dancers have left the show amid allegations of misconduct, and last week it was announced production staff will chaperone all rehearsals from the next series.   
  
The BBC's annual report was released today and its director-general Tim Davie apologised as he addressed the Strictly controversy, saying the corporation "will never tolerate unacceptable behaviour".

Producer: Rosie Gillott 
Editor: Wendy Parker 
Promotion producer: David Chipakupaku
