Amanda Abbington made new accusations in an interview with Victoria Derbyshire
Actress Amanda Abbington has spoken out following the conclusion of the BBC 's internal investigation into her allegations concerning her Strictly Come Dancing partner Giovanni Pernice's conduct during rehearsals. In a new interview, the Sherlock star made additional accusations about Pernice's behaviour.
She acknowledged that almost half of her complaints were upheld but claimed there is a "significant reason" why some were not, which she says her team will investigate further. She discussed the complaints that were upheld regarding incidents in the rehearsal room, saying it was an "ongoing litany of being verbally abused" by Giovanni and recalling a 35-minute "rant" directed at her, including name-calling.
Amanda, 50, previously said that she lodged a complaint about dancer Giovanni, 33, whom she was partnered with on the show last year. She accused him of "bullying" and "aggressive behaviour," which Giovanni - who is no longer part of the show - denied as "abusive or threatening behaviour".
