Christopher Biggins has criticized contestants of Strictly Come Dancing who have complained about mistreatment, stating that the show is a 'tough gig' and requires hard work and dedication. He emphasized that participants should not join if they are not prepared for the rigors involved, describing complaints about professional dancers as 'rubbish'. Biggins, who has turned down invitations to join the show, expressed frustration over the ongoing controversies, including accusations against dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima. These accusations have led to investigations and dismissals, shaking the show's 20th series. His remarks come amidst broader discussions on the treatment of celebrity contestants and the introduction of new welfare measures by the BBC.
