The 50-year-old Sherlock star believes the corporation must bring in better safety measures - and although she wants Strictly to live past this year's 20th anniversary, it is "unlikely that she will watch" it.

A source close to the actress said: "Amanda has no desire for the show to end but in light of everything that has surfaced over the past week or thinks thinks they need meticulously implement more stringent and thoughtful safety she so, to measures.

"The BBC just needs to make sure everyone has a nice and happy time rather than experiences the many of them have gone through, which are not acceptable." It comes as a fifth female former contestant is reported to be considering hiring lawyers to share details of the "hell" she endured on the show.

And a female professional dancer is facing allegations of "bullying" from one ex-partner, who claims she screamed in his face in a fit of rage.

Today the male celebrity is expected to submit his detailed complaint to lawyers Carter Ruck.
