STRICTLY has been hit by another crisis after a top star had explicit pictures leaked online.
Images have been spread on the internet, leaving the target, who is known to millions of fans of the BBC dance show, devastated.
A source said: “It’s a huge betrayal of trust and it has left them shaken. They will be taking action to get them taken down but it’s a real blow.
“This isn’t even the first person from Strictly it’s happened to — it’s like there’s another curse connected to the show.”
The star is the latest person connected with Strictly to have pictures and videos leaked online.
Saffron Barker, Ricky Whittle, David James and Catherine Tyldesley have been victims in the past.
It is yet another blow for the flagship BBC programme, which is facing its biggest crisis to date amid a legal battle with former pro Giovanni Pernice over alleged bullying.
The 33-year-old Sicilian has faced a string of allegations from former show partners including Amanda Abbington and Laura Whitmore.
Earlier this week Amanda described Gio as “nasty” and said he was “awful to a few of us”.
The Sherlock actress claims her stint on the show left her with PTSD.
Gio has denied the allegations and hired a top law firm to represent him.
