‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Bullying Scandal: BBC Apologizes To Amanda Abbington & Partially Upholds ‘Sherlock’ Star’s Complaints
Amanda Abbington accused 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Giovanni Pernice of bullying and misconduct. The BBC has now concluded its investigation.
Abbington abruptly quit Season 21 of Strictly last October citing “personal reasons.” She later engaged Carter Ruck, the aggressive London law firm, to pursue a complaint with the BBC about Pernice’s training methods. Abbington’s claims were followed by a separate allegation from Love Island star Zara McDermott, who handed the BBC video evidence of her being kicked by partner Graziano Di Prima. Season 22 of Strictly Come Dancing is underway in the UK, with the BBC introducing new welfare measures for contestants, including training room chaperones.
