Strictly's Giovanni Pernice is hit with claims he 'stamped on Amanda Abbington's foot during his militant training sessions' as he vows to 'clear his name' amid BBC misconduct probe
The actress, 52, has reportedly accused Giovanni Pernice of 'stamping on her foot' during his 'militant' training sessions on Strictly Come Dancing.
The professional dancer, 33, who vehemently denies any claims of threatening or abusive behaviour and has vowed to 'clear his name', stepped down from the show after eight years this week. 'Runners would check in on the training weekly and she would regularly be seen crying and feeling very sad and despondent, she desperately wanted it to work but invariably it would break down.' The actress is said to have met with Laura Whitmore, 39, and Ranvir Singh, 46, earlier this year for an 'emotional summit' to 'compare notes' about their time working with Giovanni amid the BBC's probe.
