Amanda Abbington threatens fresh Giovanni Pernice legal action as BBC in ‘unenviable position’

Former Strictly star Amanda Abbington is reportedly threatening new legal action against axed dancer Giovanni Pernice.

It comes after Giovanni reportedly refused to allow footage of his rehearsals with Amanda to be released to her lawyers and comes amid the BBC’s investigation into his alleged behaviour. Now, the rumour mill is churning once more, with concerns over why Giovanni’s camp “blocked” rehearsal footage from being released. Amanda’s legal team are now weighing up an appeal to the Information Commissioner’s Office to get access to the evidence as they think it is vital in helping support her claims.
