BBC Strictly's Angela Scanlon's anger over BBC producer's insulting remark

ok.co.uk:

Angela Scanlon has recalled comments allegedly made towards her by a BBC producer after she began hosting Robot Wars in 2016.

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 39, fronted the hit BBC Two show with Dara O'Briain until 2018, but was left "furious" after inappropriate comments were allegedly made about her when she accepted the gig.

Angela opened up about fronting Robot Wars on Tiffanie Darke's podcast Fashion as a Force for Good, saying it was a "big gig" for her. "It was Sunday night, eight o’clock, a big entertainment show and I had wild impostor syndrome.

So I felt very nervous about the actual doing of the job," she admitted. Angela alleges a BBC producer perceived her as the "glamour" despite her being "clear" about her "strengths and ability".
