Amanda Abbington 'has no regrets over Giovanni Pernice bullying probe on Strictly' amid her fears the BBC is 'protecting' the professional dancer

Amanda Abbington reportedly has no regrets over the Giovanni Pernice bullying probe on Strictly Come Dancing.

Giovanni is also reported to have made a crude comment about a member of Amanda's own family, only for her to 'effectively be asked' by BBC bosses whether the dancer meant the remark as light-hearted banter. In one interview, Amanda compared the dance show to 'the trenches' telling Channel 4 News that BBC producers had been left 'horrified' by clips that also allegedly exhibited 'humiliating behaviour of a sexual nature'.
