Peter Andre "was surrounded by a great bunch of people" during his time on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 51-year-old pop star took part in the 13th series of the BBC Latin and ballroom competition in 2015 alongside professional partner Janette Manrara and even though the show is currently investigating allegations of bullying, he only had positive things to say about his time on the series as he reminded fans that accusations still need to be proven.
Writing in his OK! Magazine 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."
However, the 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker is also in favour of the broadcaster's decision to record rehearsals and offer chaperones to the celebrities to try to alleviate the issues at hand even though he still thinks that it will be a "difficult time" for the Saturday night favourite going forward.
"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."
In recent weeks, Graziano Di Prima has been axed by the BBC Latin and ballroom show last week amid reports of alleged misconduct relating to how he treated his 2023 partner Zara McDermott, and fellow professional dancer Giovanni Pernice will also not be returning to the programme amid allegations about his treatment of his celebrity dance partners such as 'Sherlock' actress Amanda Abbington.
In the case of the former, 'Love Island' contestant Zara, 27, broke her silence with a lengthy statement in which she claimed that her experience in the rehearsal space had been "very different" to her time on the dancefloor.
She said: "So much of my 'Strictly' experience was everything I could have dreamt of. The entire production team and everyone behind the scenes as well as my fellow contestants were so amazing to work with.
"However, my experience inside the training room was very different.
"Reports have been made about my treatment on the show and there were witnesses to some events, as well as videos of particular incidents which are incredibly distressing to watch. I have wrestled with the fear of opening up - I was scared about public backlash, I was scared about my future, I was scared of victim shaming.
"But after a lot of conversations with those I love, I've gained the strength to face these fears, and when I was asked to speak to the BBC, I spoke candidly about my time on the show.
"The culture within our society makes it difficult for people to speak up, especially in a world where social media opinions and voices are so loud. "This is something I've seen through working with countless women on my documentaries."
The documentary maker concluded her post by thanking the BBC for their "swift action and incredibly high level of support".
She added: "I would like to thank the BBC and BBC Studios for their swift action and incredibly high level of support, as well as everyone who has reached out to me - it really truly means a lot."
