Piers Morgan wades into the Strictly row as he says it's been 'threatened by the snowflake virus
Piers Morgan wades into the Strictly row as he says it's been 'threatened by the snowflake virus' and offers to take part but ONLY with a 'brutal' partner - amid claims the show's pros 'are furious they've been hung out to dry'
Piers Morgan has vowed to 'save the day' by offering himself up as a contestant for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing amid ongoing bullying and abuse claims.
The broadcaster, 59, has claimed the show is being threatened by the 'snowflake virus' as he shared concerns that he could result in the BBC show being cancelled.
Piers has one condition for appearing on the programme, which is to be paired with a partner so 'tough, brutal and uncompromising' that he wins the show.
His words come amid a barrage of allegations against the show and its professional dancers, as claims of abuse and bullying from former contestants continue to grow.
Strictly Come Dancing professionals are reportedly furious they've been 'hung out to dry' by their ex-celebrity partners as they continue to speak out.
However one person who hasn't been deterred from appearing is Piers, who sent out a public statement to show execs, promising he could 'save' the programme.
Taking to X on Tuesday evening, he wrote: 'Memo to Strictly Come Dancing execs: given the snowflake virus is now threatening your sparky show's existence, I'm prepared to save the day by being a contestant but only on one condition: that whoever trains me is so tough, brutal and uncompromising that I win.'
Piers' post divided his followers, with some agreeing that appearing on the show meant being 'challenged by those at the top of their game'.
They said: 'A person who understands snowflakes. These pro dancers have danced from young and no can learn a dance in less than a week without hard work and long hours. Ask any world champion, I've seen a few over the years. Well said Piers';
'Couldn't agree more... if you're not prepared to be challenged by dancers at the top of their profession who demand hard work, stay away from the show.'
Others seemed more amused by the idea of Piers dancing on live television every Saturday night, writing: 'Would you seriously do a dance show? [popcorn emoji]; 'I would pay big bucks to watch Piers dance'; 'Lol'.
While some thought Piers was making light of serious claims, writing: 'Is objecting to being hit and kicked grounds for being called a snowflake now??'; 'So complaining about bullying, assault and abuse is 'snowflake' now is it Piers? I know one of the complainants, and believe me, they're not scared of hard work in a competitive scenario, but there are limits and that line should never be crossed.'
The show has been engulfed in a growing crisis in recent weeks, with multiple stars making accusations of abuse and bullying towards their partners during their time on the BBC show.
Now, as the professionals returned to training this week, sources are claiming that many feel they haven't been protected by BBC bosses as 'more and more' celebrities come forward.
A source told The Mirror: 'It's causing untold stress and mental anguish to so many of them as every day there are new accusations.
'Yes, one or two of the celebs in the last 20 years might have had a bad experience but they are in a tiny minority. The whole thing smacks of ambulance chasing.'
It's also been reported that dancers are calling for BBC bosses to introduce more stringent psychological testing while casting for the show, pointing to ITV rival shows such as Love Island and Dancing On Ice.
Duty of protocols from Love Island bosses show they offer 'pre-filming psychological and medical assessments including assessments by an independent doctor, psychological consultant and reports from each Islander's own GP to check medical history.'
The source added: 'It's a tough show and some celebs aren't prepared for what it entails and just want to enjoy the publicity and airtime. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that.' MailOnline contacted a representative for the BBC for comment.
As this year's pros headed back to rehearsals on Tuesday, some were quick to share subtle messages of support for the show.
The stars of the scandal-hit BBC stalwart flashed peace signs and made heart shapes with their hands as they arrived at the studio in London's Camden.
Their show of love for the programme came as BBC chief Tim Davie apologised for the alleged mistreatment that some celebrities have claimed to have experienced.
Finally breaking his silence on the scandal, the director general said he was 'very sorry' to anyone who 'has had an experience on Strictly that hasn't been wholly positive' and vowed to 'reflect on' the complaints that have been made.
The show's pros have now returned to rehearsals ahead of the new season after MailOnline revealed bosses are keen to get the series under way
