Strictly Come Dancing's ongoing investigation has shrouded the family show in chaos, and it seems the scandal is far from over.
As four have already been highlighted during the BBC probe over "misconduct" allegations, it's now understood the first female dancer is set to face similar accusations.
The unnamed professional is said to be facing "bullying" allegations from a male celebrity who was once partnered with her.
It's been claimed the celebrity has noted the dancer "screamed" in his face and that he felt "victimised".
OK! Magazine reports the celebrity is well-known to the public and is expected to open up about how daily rows he faced were intense.
He is reportedly preparing to submit his complaint to legal firm Carter Ruck. It's believed there are no claims of physical abuse in this instance but the celebrity in question is also set to criticise senior BBC figures for not offering support.

A source told The Mirror: "The man in question felt very much victimised by the behaviour of his Strictly partner.
"He alleges that on several occasions she flew into a real fury when he couldn't get the steps right, and on one occasion screamed full in his face.
"They rowed every single day. He was left upset, struggling to sleep, and feeling isolated in the process."
The BBC have declined to comment on the ongoing reports, but stated "We will not be commenting on individuals or engaging with speculation.

"However, as we have said previously we will always listen if people want to make us aware of something or raise it with us directly and we have appropriate procedures and processes in place to manage this."
The BBC probe was launched after Giovanni Pernice's celebrity partner of last year, Amanda Abbginton, made claims about him after exiting the 2023 series early.
Last week, Graziano Di Prima, 30, was axed from the show last week despite initially being in the 2024 line-up.

The shocking claims come after Love Island star McDermott, 27, broke her silence following the dancer's axe in a lengthy statement.
Di Prima later admitted to having "kicked" Mcdermott but denied claims he had "spat" at her. While he insisted the behaviour was a one-off incident, McDermott made a point to refute this.
It is also understood a third Strictly star, who is no longer a part of the series, has come up in the investigation.
The saga continued on Friday as judge Anton Du Beke himself, who starred as a professional on the show from 2004 to 2021, was dragged into headlines after reports suggest a historic complaint made against him in 2009 could resurface given the current investigation.
