Giovanni Pernice given 'major boost' in BBC investigation over Amanda Abbington 'abuse' claims


Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice has been handed a boost in his BBC bullying investigation, as it's claimed that only Amanda Abbington has formally complained

In the same interview, Amanda hinted that the BBC and Giovanni were denying her access to 50 hours of footage, stating the dancer "doesn't want anyone to see". The Sherlock star alleges this footage originates from video cameras installed after she voiced concerns, but said it's currently being "blocked" and even her legal team can't access it, reports the Mirror. Our processes on Strictly Come Dancing are updated every year, they are kept under constant review and last week we announced additional steps to further strengthen welfare and support on the show."
