<\/p>\nStrictly Come Dancing star Angela Scanlon has spoken out after she was allegedly reported to police for a dangerous car stunt.<\/p>\n
The Irish TV presenter, 39, who is partnered with Carlos Gu on the glitzy BBC One show, caused a bit of an uproar over her actions. Earlier this week Angela uploaded a video of her dancing out of the window of a moving car.<\/p>\n
In the now-deleted Instagram clip, she could be seen hanging out of the rear window while appearing to not be wearing a seatbelt. The routine was filmed by a friend in the passenger seat in front.<\/p>\n

After the video went live it was claimed that Angela was reported to the cops. It has also been said she is to get a telling-off from BBC bosses. <\/p>\n

A source spoke to MailOnline and alleged: \u201cAngela thought she was having a laugh, playing up to being on Strictly. But leaning out of a moving car is incredibly dangerous and she should know better. Her place on Strictly won't be at threat but she'll be warned about her behaviour going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nick Simmons, CEO of RoadPeace, the national charity for road crash victims, also told the publication: "Every day on the UK's roads, around five people are killed and more than 60 people are seriously injured. Driving is a privilege, not a right. With that privilege comes a great deal of responsibility for safety, but sadly, many road users overlook this important fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very disappointing when celebrities, who have a significant influence on others, behave in a way that does not acknowledge the importance of using the roads safely and of the huge risks posed by distracted driving."<\/p>\n
However, Angela has since spoken out about the video and has apologised for her actions. In a statement, she said: "'I made absolutely the wrong decision when I filmed this video.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was coming from rehearsals and was giddy with excitement. That's not an excuse, because what I did was stupid and I'm sorry I let my excitement get the better of my judgement."<\/p>\n
Angela made her live dancing debut on Strictly at the weekend – where she performed a Tango routine with Carlos. Their performance went down a treat with the judges. Anton de Beke gushed: \u201cThe drama, the intense, the commitment was magnificent.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the show, Angela wrote on Instagram: \u201cWeek one DONE!!! I've just had a fry up and a very small lie in. My head is reeling & I'm not quite sure what the hell happened. What a night. Everyone was incredible. I literally forgot how to speak I was so nervous\/stunned, so far out of my comfort zone, so exposed, so ladylike.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I loved every second of it & thank you ALL for the messages and comments on our TANGO!! When I heard we were doing it I almost vomited but actually I kind of loved being fierce & moody & fiery.\u201d<\/p>\n
