BBC removed trans-rights slogan from Strictly rehearsal footage

BBC digitally erased 'Protect the Dolls' from Bethany Antonia's T-shirt in rehearsal footage broadcast on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing, showing it as plain white on air and iPlayer. The phrase signals support for trans women. Antonia, who stars in House of the Dragon, wore the shirt while training with Nancy Xu.
