Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood wants the BBC's findings from their investigation into misconduct claims on the show to be published quickly.
The 59-year-old choreographer, who has been on the show since it's inception back in 2004, also reckons that the upcoming run of Strictly Come Dancing will be the "most expensive ever".
In an interview with The Times, he said: "I can't wait for the investigation because it could be all blown out of proportion or it could be anything. But we want the results sooner rather than later."
He also added: "It's not just the BBC, though, is it? The BBC is in the public eye because of its public funding. ITV has the same issues."
He explained that there had been significant changes since his dance training, where his teachers would strike their legs to yield better results, and reckoned that the introduction of chaperones would help.
He said: "All I can say is, first, chaperones are a good idea. Second, thank goodness things have changed.
"I had a Russian ballet teacher who used a cane to make us raise our legs higher. You couldn’t do that now.
"A choreographer can’t even touch a dancer’s arm to put it in the correct place, but at least it means everyone feels protected."
But despite all the controversy around the show over the past few months, he insists that the show would survive the current crisis.
"It’s a wonderful show that’s in 61 countries," he said. "Yes, I want to know the results of the investigation – let’s see what issues need addressing. But let’s also not forget the absolute joy it brings."
Here's a timeline of the Strictly allegations.
