AMANDA PLATELL: What an utter humiliation for Amanda Abbington this new Strictly revelation will be... it's time to ask her: 'Why do so many women not believe you?'


What a bitter blow for Amanda Abbington. After her campaign to have her Strictly partner Giovanni Pernice cancelled, the BBC says he will star in their 20th anniversary December spectacular.

What utter humiliation for Amanda, who – on October 1 – after results of the BBC inquiry into her allegations were published, appeared on the front page of The Sun triumphantly claiming that she had been ‘vindicated’ and had won her battle against Gio. Perhaps BBC bosses had taken into consideration the fact that on a secret audio tape she was unaware of, Amanda had been recorded telling him that she was emotionally fragile: ‘I know I’m a nightmare – you probably feel like throwing me out the window.’ More importantly, why has the BBC, despite spending £500,000 on a lengthy internal investigation into your claims against Gio, decided he is a fit and proper person to star in their December spectacular, when footage will be shown of his Bafta-award winning dance with the deaf actress Rose Ayling-Ellis in 2021?
