The aim of the new measures is to ensure that celebrities ‘feel supported’ from the mental and physical strain while taking part in Strictly.
An insider told The Mirror: “It will give them a safe space to voice any concerns they have – and just feel listened to.
“As well as allowing Beeb bosses to monitor how the celebrities are coping with the pressures of the show.”
The Sun has contacted the BBC.
It comes as former Strictly professional Giovanni Pernice is facing investigation over his conduct whilst on the show.
Actress Amanda Abbington raised a complaint with execs over the treatment she received after quitting the programme last year.
The Sherlock star recently broke down in tears in her first TV interview addressing the scandal.
Graziano Di Prima was sacked over claims he hit, spat and kicked his celebrity dance partner Zara McDermott.
BBC boss Tim Davie recently spoke out about the Strictly scandal and issued a grovelling apology to those affected by their time on the show.
He said: “I’m very sorry that anyone has had an experience on Strictly that hasn’t been wholly positive.”
Davie added that the “line should never be crossed”.
On Saturday Laura Whitmore confirmed reports she has spoken to the BBC regarding Giovanni Pernice’s ‘inappropriate’ behaviour in a lengthy statement.
The Sun recently revealed how DIY SOS star Nick Knowles has signed up to the new series.
He’s set to be joined in the ballroom by former TOWIE star Pete Wicks who has also signed his contract.
