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.’
The scandal first erupted when Giovanni, 33, was suspended while a BBC probe was launched over claims of off-camera misconduct made by Amanda Abbington, 50, and two of his other former celeb partners, which he has vehemently denied.
Amanda quit the show last year citing ‘personal issues’ and in an interview with The Sun on Sunday, Amanda said: ‘I found Giovanni’s behaviour unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean. I couldn’t sit back and let him do that to other people.’
Then fellow Italian dancer Graziano Di Prima was sacked from the programme earlier this month following claims he allegedly hit and spat at his dancing partner Zara McDermott, 27, during rehearsals.
In allegations reported on Sunday he was also accused of ‘chasing’ after her while ‘screaming abuse,’ leaving her so frightened that she ‘locked herself in a toilet.’
Zara broke her silence on the scandal, explaining that while much of her time on Strictly ‘was everything I could have dreamt of’ inside the training room with Graziano there were ‘particular incidents which are incredibly distressing’.

The dancer, 30, admitted to kicking his former partner, but added other allegations do not align with ‘how he remembers it.’
In the wake of the allegations, more celebrities have come forward with stories of negative experience and treatment on the show, including James and Ola Jordan.
Janette found herself embroiled in the crisis after her former celeb partner Will Bayley revealed he couldn’t walk for six months after becoming injured on the show.
The Paralympian, 36, explained Janette had made him redo a jump from a table in studio rehearsals after saying his first was ‘rubbish’, causing his leg to ‘crack’ and a lifelong injury.
Calling the ordeal ‘traumatic’, he called for huge changes on the show, but was insistent that he didn’t blame Janette ‘at all’, calling her ‘so supportive, very professional and so talented.’
A representative for Janette subsequently told the BBC: ‘Janette had a great time dancing with Will and one of her favourite moments on the show was doing their contemporary couples choice.
‘Her celebrity partner’s safety and enjoyment was always the priority throughout her time on Strictly. Janette has never received any complaints and has maintained friendships with all her partners, including Will.’
Peter previously waded into the growing controversy this week, saying he had only positive experiences and insisting the investigation shouldn’t happen ‘behind closed doors’.

Writing in his OK! column, he said: ‘I’ve been reading a lot about what’s going on with Strictly at the moment but I can really only comment about my own experience on the show.
‘I was surrounded by a great bunch of people. We don’t know what is true but accusations are still only accusations until they’re proven.
‘On the other hand, things like this just shouldn’t be happening behind closed doors. It’s going to be a difficult time for Strictly and for all those involved.
‘The show could be in the spotlight for a different reason this year.’
James Jordan also poured fuel on the flames of the Strictly bullying row after Steve Backshall complained that his dancing partner and James’ wife Ola ‘bullied’ him while on the programme in 2014.
The former Strictly pro took to social media to make a jibe at the seasoned television explorer after it emerged that he lodged a complaint with the BBC over professional dancer Ola’s ‘rude and impatient manner’.
Responding to a Strictly fan’s mocking disbelief that the hardened explorer – who has dived with Great White sharks and wrestled poisonous snakes in his career – could be ‘reduced to tears’ by the 5ft 4in dancer, James controversially joked: ‘Please help me!!’
While there are claims a host of Strictly celeb contestants have set up a ‘secret support group’ where they have shared their own horror stories and corroborated one another’s claims.
In allegations reported on Sunday he was also accused of ‘chasing’ after her while ‘screaming abuse,’ leaving her so frightened that she ‘locked herself in a toilet’

MailOnline has revealed the show’s hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman could begin the new series with an apology for alleged abusive behaviour suffered by celebs in a desperate attempt to save the show.
BBC bosses are said to be desperate to draw ‘an immediate line’ under the scandal when it begins in September and sources have said it ‘can’t start quick enough’.
They said the presenters may be asked to address it at the start of the first show and could even say sorry after complaints from Amanda, Zara and Steve.
The insider told us: ‘This year’s Strictly is the 20th anniversary and it will be a celebration of the show and its history.
‘The BBC will want to draw an immediate line under what has happened. The show can’t start soon enough.’
