Strictly's Amanda Abbington opens up about 'sexual' bullying claims against Giovanni Pernice


Amanda Abbington has claimed that some of the 'bullying' she suffered at the hands of her Strictly Come Dancing partner Giovanni Pernice was of a 'sexual nature'

In reference to the ongoing BBC probe and additional grievances from past participants, Amanda noted: "I know a lot of people went in to speak to them. Graziano admitted to inadvertently kicking Love Island celebrity Zara McDermott while practising and attributed the incident to his "intense passion and determination". His spokesperson responded to the furore with a message to MailOnline: "We would urge people to wait for the review's conclusion and not to pay heed to these very serious and defamatory allegations that have no evidence in support of them."
