In a significant move towards inclusivity, Strictly Come Dancing will introduce live signing for the first time during its 20th anniversary series, set to begin in September. This initiative, confirmed by director Kate Phillips, aims to enhance accessibility for deaf viewers and includes audio description and subtitles, making it the 'most accessible' series yet. The announcement comes amid ongoing scrutiny following allegations of mistreatment involving professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, with both denying wrongdoing, although Giovanni will not participate in this year's show. The BBC has also committed to a year-long focus on British Sign Language, aiming to break down barriers in television broadcasting. This series will feature various celebrities, including JB Gill and Shayne Ward, and will aim to engage the audience more than ever before. Further updates on the BBC's initiatives for the BSL community are expected in the future.
