BBC Stands By Anton Du Bece

The BBC is standing by Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke who has apologised for using a "racist" term.

There have been calls for Du Beke to be sacked after it was claimed he called his partner Laila Rouass a "Paki".

A statement said: "The BBC does not condone offensive language in the workplace. Anton Du Beke has apologised unreservedly to Laila Rouass who has accepted his apology."

The ballroom dancer denied being racist after an exchange "in jest".

There have been 63 complaints about Du Beke to the BBC and anti-racism campaign group Hope Not Hate has called for the dancer to be axed.

A spokesman for Hope Not Hate said: "If calling someone a Paki is not racist behaviour then what is? The BBC took a clear line on the Carol Thatcher golliwog comment. If anything this comment is even more offensive."

Amy Winehouse On Strictly

Amy Winehouse is to appear on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing this weekend - as a backing singer for her goddaughter.

Dionne Bromfield, 13, is the first signing to Winehouse's new record label, Lioness.

The pair will perform Bromfield's first single Mama Said, originally a hit for The Shirelles in 1961.

Bromfield said: "Amy and I both love Strictly... so it was brilliant to find out I'll be on TV for the first time singing on one of my favourite shows."

Winehouse has been closely involved with the teenager's album of soul classics, including Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Tell Him and My Boy Lollipop.

She also sings backing vocals on the album version of Mama Said.

"I've known Amy for ever," Bromfield said. "I'm very close to Amy. She's like my sister."

Tune into our racist culture war, live on primetime TV
It seems ludicrous that there's still a need to explain why the likes of Anton Du Beke have behaved offensively
