BBC bosses are set to investigate events involving several of the Strictly Come Dancing professionals.
Strictly pro dancers which according to reports, include Nadiya Bychkova, Giovanni Pernice and Kai Widdrington have previously agreed to take part and dance at parties which replicate the show and its experience.
And although fans would clamour to get a slice of the Strictly action, according to The Sun the dancers involvement in the event could mean an accidental breach of strict BBC advertising rules.

Sophomore judge Anton Du Beke has also been booked to feature on some of these events that take place across the country that may have fallen foul of commercial guidelines.
Three other stars of the show, Amy Dowden, Gorka Marquez and Karen Hauer are also currently slated to appear in these events.
According to the BBC’s policy: “Actors and artists who perform in BBC output should not appear in promotional work, including advertisements, in a way which mimics or replicates their on-air roles for the BBC.”

According to The Sun, past contestants such as Nick Knowles and Stacey Dooley who also previously breached rules were penalised by the corporation.
According to the Alton Towers website, fans of the show can “Spend the weekend with your favourite stars of Strictly Come Dancing at the fabulous Alton Towers Resort Hotel.”
The advert continues: “Enjoy 3 days of spectacular dance showcases as the Strictly Stars perform up close & personal for a truly intimate experience unlike any other – learn to dance with them, plus hear all about their Strictly journeys.”

The experience also promises fun Q&A sessions where fans of the celebrity competition series can “find out the all the juicy Strictly gossip first hand”.
Although organiser’s Donahey states the events are not endorsed or associated with the BBC, guests can also get access to “Exclusive ‘Red Carpet Strictly Photo Calls” as part of the event.
The BBC declined to comment.
