Things could pick up for them yet!

Strictly Come Dancing has had a poor start to the new season as they're reporting their lowest viewing figures ever.

The show returned to the BBC last week with a pre-recorded launch episode, with The Sun reporting a total of 6.7m viewers. This is down 7.3m from the same episode last year.

The reality dancing show has been embroiled in controversy and scandals throughout the years, most recently with a few past contestants coming out to accuse professional dancer Giovanni Pernice of bullying and abusive behaviour.

One of those contestant was actress Amanda Abbington, who quit the show after just 5 weeks and later came out accusing her partner Giovanni Pernice of abuse.

The Sherlock actress made a series of accusations about Giovanni's teaching methods, describing his behaviour as 'unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean'.

Giovanni strongly denied all of the claims but was not asked to return to the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing.
