Former Strictly Come Dancing star 'made to feel injury was making mountain out of molehill' as he says 'lessons can be learnt'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukWill Bayley has said he was made to feel he was "making a mountain out of a molehill" when he contacted the BBC about the life-changing injury he suffered during Strictly Come Dancing.
The Paralympic table tennis player said he suffered a serious injury while performing a jump in rehearsals for the programme in 2019, during which he was partnered with Janette Manrara, and claimed there was "no duty of care".
He claimed producers were told the jump from a table during a routine was too dangerous, but he was encouraged to do it anyway, and after he was injured show bosses made him feel as though it was his fault.
Bayley has arthrogryposis, a condition which affects all of his limbs, and was also diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma during childhood.
