Strictly Come Dancing has faced criticism after a rehearsal video showed Bethany Antonia wearing a T-shirt carrying a message supporting transgender women, which was obscured during Saturday’s programme
Viewers accused the BBC of censorship online, with some linking the controversy to its recent decision to end RuPaul’s Drag Race UK
Antonia later performed an American Smooth with Nancy Xu, earning 27 points from the judges
The BBC has been approached for a response, while the dancers continue their run in the competition.
